Bandit’s focus on core running communities has helped it grow enough to start expanding outward — that has included partnering with big brands like Asics, sponsoring major races like the Chicago and London Marathons, and, most recently, hosting its own races. In May, Bandit hosted the Bandit Grand Prix in Brooklyn. The event, featuring multiple 5K and 3K races around a Brooklyn warehouse throughout the day, drew thousands of attendees from 21 countries.
