About This Club
Reckless Run Crew is a Monday night social run club based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, meeting at Salsa Pizzeria for a 3-4 mile run through the streets. It's free, there's no membership to join, and the record marks it as beginner friendly with all paces welcome, so it's built for people who want to run and then eat pizza with the group, not chase a specific split.
Highlights
- Reckless street running
- Unsanctioned races like Ray's to Ray's
- Brand partnerships (Tracksmith
- On Running)
- Inclusive community
- Events and collaborations
- Post-run socializing
Who It Suits
This suits beginners and social runners in Brooklyn who want a low-barrier weekly run that ends in pizza, plus people interested in the crew's own unsanctioned events like Ray's to Ray's and its brand collaborations with names like Tracksmith and On Running. It's explicitly not aimed at competitive racers chasing times, and trail runners won't find any trail here, it's street and road only. It's also not set up for walkers, strollers, or dogs.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Runs are 3-4 miles on road and street terrain, no trail. Pace is described as all paces welcome, so there isn't a single target pace to hit. The run happens weekly, every Monday night, and wraps up back at Salsa Pizzeria where the group eats together afterward.

Your First Run
Show up Monday night at Salsa Pizzeria in Greenpoint. That's the meeting spot and where the group starts and ends. No experience is needed and there's no sign-up or fee to show up and run, so you can just be there.
Since all paces are welcome, you're not going to be the only one figuring out the pace on the fly, but this isn't a walk-break club either, so go in ready to run the 3-4 miles.
