The Marathon Journey of James Poch
By Paulina Albarracin
Running is one of those sports that requires unwavering discipline and perseverance to unlock your potential. The sight of a runner pushing their limits inspires spectators to embrace the physically demanding routine. It is a highly accessible pastime that beckons the strong-willed and the single-minded, more so for aspiring marathoners. James Poch is one such runner who defied his limits to become a seasoned marathoner.

Since 2013, we have gone the distance for Queens! It is our goal to “Bring runners to Queens and bring Queens to runners.” Our Membership Base of over 700 runners takes strength from runners hailing from across the world, represented within our Neighborhoods and communities.
Part competitive running club, part race Management Team, we are all about Queens! From transportation to major races, to organizing up to a dozen race events culminating in the annual Queens Marathon, to hosting over 100 team practices in the course of a calendar year, we invite you to take a look at all we are up to in the name of building the Queens Running Community.
