Founder of New York Free Run Club Earns $640,000 Through Ticketed Social Events
Owen Akhibi founded Peak and Pace, a New York City-based free running club, in 2024 to build community beyond nightlife. While running remains free, the group generates revenue through ticketed social events like parties, hiking, and ski trips, earning around $640,000 in 2025 with a 15% profit margin. Akhibi reinvests profits to grow the venture and continues his full-time role at an AI robotics lab. The club has expanded to about 150 runners and attracted 30,000 attendees in 2025.
