Welcome to Opening Day for Running in New York City. At the JackRabbit NYC Running Show™ you’ll find all the gear, information, and inspiration you need to get out there and get fit this spring! The show features 30,000 square feet of expo space with the top brands in running gear. Stop by the JackRabbit treadmills to get some advice on what kind of running shoes you need, then browse the booths of the top shoe brands in the industry to find a pair that suits you perfectly. The rest of the expo offers all of the gear that makes running interesting and enjoyable, with great clothing selections, nutrition, heart rate monitors, and gadgets to make running easier and fun.

The show also features tons of education and information to help you get it right this year. If you’re just getting started, one of our clinics can help you pace yourself so you don’t get hurt. There are also clinics for first time half-marathoners, marathoners, and even ultramarathoners, as well as doing your first triathlon and even an Ironman. On Saturday, come meet star ultramarathoner Scott Jurek, hear about the trend toward barefoot or “minimalist” running, meet NYC Firefighter Matt Long, and find a great running club to join this year to stay motivated and meet great people.

The show is full of great deals. Your $10 ticket gets you $15 off your purchase total. The first 5,000 attendees get a free gigantic reusable JackRabbit bag — fill it with great gear at the show, then take it to the beach or your races this summer! If you’re already in the JackRabbit discount program, you’ll also receive your discount at the show. If not, then if you spend $100 at the show you’ll automatically receive 10% off all future purchases at JackRabbit — for life! In addition, anyone who spends over $100, over $200, or over $350 gets their choice of a free gift!

Buy your ticket online!

We are expecting a lot of people to buy tickets on the day of the show. You can bypass the line entirely if you buy your tickets online. Nothing is more frustrating than standing on line waiting for tickets while the presentation you’re hoping to see is starting.

Doors open at 9:30 for Scott Jurek

If you’re coming on Saturday morning to see Scott Jurek, we are opening the doors to let people up to Scott’s presentation at 9:30am. We are limited to 350 people in the room by fire code, so entry is first come first served until the room is full. Please buy your tickets online to ensure you get in!

Tickets are good the entire day, $15 discount can be used just once.

Your ticket is for Friday or Saturday but not both. When you enter, you’ll get a wristband that allows you to leave and re-enter all day. (Team in Training tickets can enter both Friday and Saturday, because the event is Friday night.) You’ll also get a coupon for $15 off your purchases at the show. The coupon is good at the show only, not at the stores. Only one coupon can be used per visitor, but if two people are shopping together and want to have a single receipt, we will allow up to two coupons on a receipt for two people.

Team in Training Friday Night Event

If you’re coming to see Ethan and Jenna on Friday night, be aware that alchohol is being served. Please bring a valid form of ID. We will be starting promptly at 6:30. If you’re planning to shop, get there early or come back on Saturday — your Team in Training ticket allows you to enter on both days.
