New York City Runs, Inc.
Lobbying client
NYCRUNS, incorporated as New York City Runs, Inc., is a race organizing company that puts on running events across the five boroughs each year, including a Brooklyn half marathon it had to rename to the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon in 2024 after New York Road Runners sued over trademark infringement on the Brooklyn Half Marathon name. It has filed 17 lobbying disclosures since 2024, paying two firms, James F. Capalino & Associates and Park Place Strategies, a combined $224,000 to seek permits and approvals from city boards and commissions for its Brooklyn half marathon and a marathon, rather than lobbying individual council members.
