The Club Atletico Mexicano de Nueva York or CAMNY is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the sport of running to the community, with it's strongest efforts directed towards today's youth.
The CAMNY was founded in 1992 by six local runners from the Brooklyn community. The CAMNY quickly became one of the fastest growing clubs in the Tri-State area and officially recognized by the New York Road Runners Club (NYRRC) and Metropolitan Athletic Congress (MAC). By 1994 the CAMNY had grown to over 140 members spread across the Tri-State Area and particpated in the New York City Marathon that year with over 50 members.
By 1995, the CAMNY had won the Open Mens Division A group in the New York Road Runners Club and boasted several of the city's best runners.
Today, the CAMNY is responsible for several teams who have been founded by its original members and proud of the history and achievements it has accomplished over the past 15 years. Its main event, the Cinco de Mayo 5K Run, is now in its 10th year and draws over 300 runners and just as many spectators. Over the last 10 years it has hosted great performances with sub-14 minute and appearances by world class athletes such as Khalid Khannouchi.
