OUR MISSION

About Us

Team Aisling is an official running/walking club, affiliated with the New York Road Runners (NYRR). It is also a social fitness club, both fun and friendly! Team Aisling welcomes all members of the community to connect, become active and get fit as part of a broad wellness program for mind and body.  

How It Started

Team Aisling came to life in 2018. The concept was simple, yet inspirational: Get the community involved in a new wellness initiative, the 4 Fs Philosophy-Fun, Fitness, Friendship and Fundraising. The original goal was to have 20 or 30 people take part in the Yonkers Marathon/Half Marathon or 5k, while raising awareness about the Aisling Irish Community Center’s (AICC) valuable programs and services. However, the idea captured the imagination of the community and before too long, Couch-to-5k groups sprang up in The Bronx, Yonkers, Queens and Rockland, requiring a dedicated team group of Team Captains to coordinate the initiative which culminated  in over 330 Team Aisling members taking part in the Yonkers Marathon/Half Marathon and 5k in October 2018. Since then, Team Aisling has gone from strength to strength with over 660 members participating in 2019.
