Top 70 New York Running Influencers in 2026
The September 2026 snapshot of top 70 new york running influencers in 2026 covers 70 public Instagram profiles with 16M combined followers. Median audience size is 71.2K (mean 222K), which tells you the typical creator on this list is smaller than the headline names — a few large accounts pull the average up.
Average engagement across the ranking is 3.3% (median 3%). That is 1.5pp above the 1.75% new york running industry midpoint we use for 2026 Instagram, and 1.7pp above the ~1.55% all-niche Instagram average. Followers are relatively spread out — the top three hold 21.2% of combined reach, which is healthier if you want a diversified creator mix.
On this mix, a single organic feed post typically budgets $1,366–$5,959 and a Reel $2,587–$9,570 before usage rights (public 2026 Instagram bands, weighted by the follower-tier mix on this page and a 1.1× new york running premium). A five-creator test usually lands around $6,830–$29,795.
Key takeaways for new york running in September 2026
- Kate Mackz, Becs Gentry, Carleth Keys currently sit at the top of this new york running ranking.
- Follower mix: 25.7% nano, 30% micro, 27.1% mid, 14.3% macro. Dominant tier: micro.
- Geography: 20 countries on the list, led by United States (12.9%) and Brazil (4.3%).
- 38 profiles link out to a live or curated Instagram handle; 38 are verified public figures with self-hosted photos.
- Highest engagement on the list is Kara Grace Dudley at 6.6%, which is not the largest audience (Reese Girard at 1.2M). That gap is the usual “don’t sort only by followers” lesson.
- A national-team star may have a disengaged Instagram and an engaged TikTok. Price the platform you are actually buying.

What this new york running influencers ranking actually shows
Process content (training, gear, recovery) outperforms trophy photos. Niche sports (climbing, golf, hoops) convert communities; mega athletes convert awareness. On this specific list the median account has been posting since around 2015 (average age ~8.7 years; oldest 2011, newest 2024) with roughly 4,299 posts — enough history that you can actually audit a grid before you brief.
Primary language on the roster is English (72.9%). A meaningful secondary slice is Portuguese (5.7%) — write the caption language into the brief if you care about comment quality.
Where gender is labelled, the split is 28 female / 10 male (32 unlabelled). Use that as a casting hint, not a quota.

- In-season athletes have tiny production windows. Book the off-week.
- Ask whether league or team rules limit logos.

New York Running Influencers — frequently asked questions
Who are the top new york running influencers in 2026?
Our September 2026 ranking of 70 new york running influencers is led by Kate Mackz, Becs Gentry, Carleth Keys. Combined they represent 16M followers, with an average engagement of 3.3%. 38 entries are verified public figures. The order blends audience size with engagement so a quiet mega-account does not automatically beat a louder mid-tier creator.
How is this new york running list ranked?

The page also publishes the list’s own maths — median 71.2K followers, 3.3% average ER, 21.2% of reach in the top three — so you can see whether you are looking at a concentrated or diversified niche.
What engagement rate is good for new york running Instagram accounts?
For new york running we treat ~1.75% as the 2026 industry midpoint (a bit above Instagram’s mean — training clips travel, press-day photos do not). This list averages 3.3%, which is 1.5pp above that midpoint. Nano and micro accounts should beat the midpoint; mega accounts can sit well below it and still be efficient on raw impressions.

Using public Instagram rate bands weighted by this list’s follower mix and a 1.1× niche adjustment, one organic feed post on a typical account here is $1,366–$5,959; a Reel is $2,587–$9,570. Usage rights, exclusivity and whitelisting usually add 30–50%. These are planning ranges, not quotes from the creators on this page.

How can I contact these new york running influencers?
38 public figures on this page link through to Instagram. We do not publish private emails for real people. For a spreadsheet of campaign-ready contacts, request a targeted list — we only include adults who are publicly doing creator work.
How often is the new york running list updated?
Figures on this page were compiled for September 2026. Rankings move as follower counts, engagement and newly surfaced public figures change. Treat it as a current snapshot, not a lifetime league table.
What campaign formats work best with new york running?
The highest-performing briefs in this niche usually mix training Reels, gear reviews and in-season event Stories. Lead with one hero Reel, support it with a feed post or carousel, and keep Stories for time-sensitive offers or codes.
