Confluence Magazine: Your Home for Local Running, Community, and Wellness

Confluence Magazine is the storytelling arm of Confluence Running—a quarterly print and digital magazine that celebrates runners, walkers, and active families across upstate New York and beyond. Each issue brings together the threads of our community: local races, running clubs, athlete spotlights, health and wellness insights, and the small businesses that keep our region moving.

What started during COVID-19 as a way to stay connected despite distance has grown into a 24–36 page publication packed with community stories, training tips, and inspiration. Now, all of our issues live here in one place—easy to read, easy to share, and always easy to come back to.
