Paul Leak
For the past three years, Paul Leak has been working to build communities around outdoor fitness in New York City. For the past year, Paul has been working on a new initiative for the New York Road Runners, Open Run. NYRR Open Run is a weekly community run that is led by leaders, held in local parks across New York City. It is now in six parks across the five boroughs and is still expanding. He has also worked as an Event Manager and a Coach for the New York Road Runners. Before moving to New York City, Paul received his degree from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, where he first fell in love with the outdoors and the mountains.
Paul is also one of the leaders of the November Project, a worldwide community, empowering humans of all fitness levels through fierce, FREE, weekly workouts. The group has grown from a group of five people two years ago, to over 200 people each week. Paul is a distance runner, rock climber, current vegan, and never says no to a road trip.
