The Bandit Grand Prix is set to debut on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at the Brooklyn Storehouse, featuring a unique racing format that includes a series of timed 5K heats followed by a 3K Super Final at night. This event, organized by the running brand Bandit and directed by David Trimble, aims to blend elements of underground racing with a more organized structure, appealing to both competitive runners and spectators.
Racer registration will open on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, giving participants guaranteed entry into a 5K heat and a chance to qualify for the subsequent 3K final. Registered runners can expect additional perks, such as food, drink, and access to an exclusive warmup area, along with entry to the afterparty.
