July 23-24, 2022

The Warriors UltraRun is an overnight, underground running experience that carries runners over 28 miles as they recreate the escape route from the iconic 1979 film by Walter Hill. After attending a 1 AM Conclave, held at a secret location in the Bronx, runners dressed as gang members pass iconic shooting sights as they race for Coney Island.

For the 2022 race, members of the Warriors Elite Team -- who are either winners of prior events or invited VIP runners -- will be given a 10 min head start before being chased through NYC in the dead of night.

The Warriors UltraRun was founded by Todd Aydelotte, an NYC ultrarunner and devoted fan of the film, who ran the route by himself in July, 2018. As word spread, more fans of the Warriors joined him each year.

The 3rd Annual The Warriors UltraRun was held on August, 28, 2021, and featured over 90 ultrarunners dressed as gang members. The race now stands as one of the preeminent Warriors fan-events anywhere.

This is an underground, unofficial race run by fans for fans. We make no profit whatsoever & protect the Warriors brand. We don't even print T-shirts. All funds from ticket sales go to tech costs for The Conclave; getting the word out on social; and hiring a race photographer

Cleon's Gang is a group of 9 ultrarunners who have been involved in this event from the very beginning, and help to watch over the race and ensure it stays true to the spirit of the movie -- Todd Aydelotte, Kurt Bromund, Kate Strachnyi, Peter Schwinge, Ntino Krampis, Kumi Shibata Redpath, Anna Boozer, Gino Victoria and Ramon Bermo.
