2021 WINNERS

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 2021 race, winners of prior events and top runners, were placed on the first-ever Warriors Elite Team, which was given a 10 min head start before being chased through NYC. Ramon Bermo served as War Chief, and the team included Michelle Goldberg, Keron Alleyne, Brandon Jackson, Dave Maloney, Brian McGregor and Thom Lessner.

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

The 2021 Warriors UltraRun Steering Committee is a group of ultra runners who are devoted fans of The Warriors and seek to keep the race true to the spirit of the film -- Dan Zimerman, Kurt Bromund, Kate Strachnyi, Peter Schwinge, Ntino Krampis, Kumi Shibata Redpath and Anna Boozer.
