On a drizzly Boxing Day morning, 140 Sydney Jewish Runners of all ages met to launch the Sydney Chapter of Nice Jewish Runners.

Nice Jewish Runners was founded in New York just after October 7th 2023, on the belief that Jewish people are stronger together and that any form of connection around being Jewish is positive.

Over the last two years, Nice Jewish Runners has opened more than 20 chapters across the United States, Canada and Israel.

Nice Jewish Runners is designed to be a social community of runners that celebrates our love of running, but also to create social connections across being Jewish, including celebrating Jewish festivals.

The 14th December terror attack in Sydney was the catalyst for the global Head of Nice Jewish Runners, Ezra Feig, to reach out from New York to the Sydney Jewish Community to create our first event.

The inaugural run started and finished at Lox in a Box, taking in North Bondi and Bondi Beach, with bagels and coffee for everyone at the end.

The Sydney chapter will start more regular runs from late January.  If you wish to get involved, please reach out via the QR code below.
