About Us
Runners United LI is more than a running group—we are a community built on inclusion, encouragement, and connection.
Founded in 2026, Runners United, Inc. began with a simple vision of bringing people together through running and inclusion, and we continue to grow as we welcome new members, families, volunteers, and supporters into our community.
Our Mission
The mission of Runners United, Inc. is to promote and encourage running as a sport and lifetime activity by providing supportive, inclusive, year-round training, exercise programs, and competitive opportunities.
The organization is dedicated to serving individuals, including persons with developmental disabilities, by offering structured athletic and social programs that foster physical fitness, self-confidence, and the development of essential life skills through community engagement, exclusive events, and meaningful social interactions.
The organization seeks to build lasting friendships, enhance quality of life, and create joyful, empowering experiences for all participants.
Running together. Growing together. United together.
Why Join Us?
The best reason to join is not the miles you will run – it is the people who will run beside you. In our club, beginners are met with encouragement, patience, and support from others who know that every runner starts somewhere. You will find people who cheer for your first mile, wait for you at the finish, and remind you that showing up matters more than speed.
