Northeast Runners Alliance

Northeast Runners Alliance (NeRA) is an alliance of road and trail runners from around the Northeastern United States. We are a 501 (c)3 non-profit.

Our primary mission is to build and connect a community centered around running that encourages engagement and collaboration, stewardship, and responsible use of shared spaces. Our secondary mission is to foster diversity, inclusion, and access to the sport of running in all forms. Road or trail, recreational or competitive, we believe there is a place for everybody.

Join us for the 2024 Trail Running Film Festival screening on April 28 at Empire Comedy Club in Portland, ME!

Celebrate another year of films that will inspire, challenge and motivate you.

“The mission of the Trail Running Film Festival is to celebrate running as a universal practice to explore our collective and individual potential and pursue our wildest dreams. We accomplish this by documenting the culture of trail running, supporting filmmakers and creatives, and hosting events that bring our community together. We are committed to promoting inclusivity, adventure, wilderness, art, and diversity across the trail and ultra community.”

It’s National Public Lands Day! If you’ve ever used a trail thank your local land trust and the many volunteers that make trails accessible!

We got out and did some bridge building in Hobstone Woods with Cape Elizabeth Land Trust this morning. Satisfaction of seeing our work enjoyed by trail users - priceless.

The road (or trail) to a runners heart is food, as everyone knows. We also know we can’t do this annual clean-up without our volunteers and donors! We are getting super excited for Earth Day Plogging with a ton of fantastic thank you items (mostly food or drink) donated by community businesses that will be raffled to our many helping hands post-Plog. Mark your calendars, and join us to do good in our community!
