Bandit Grand Prix

Published February 24, 2026

Bandit Grand Prix (@banditgrandprix) is a running event within a F1 style racing series, hosted by Bandit Running. The first event took place in Brooklyn in July 2025.

From Jake Heyen:

But this thing was nothing like a normal road race. They built a technical, multi-lap circuit that winds through Brooklyn. With sharp turns, indoor sections, and spectators lining the course – cheering like it’s an F1 Pit Lane. Racers kicked things off with 5k qualifying heats, battling for spots in a 3k super final under the lights. If you didn’t want to run solo, they had a team relay option also. Plus a $12,000 prize pool was up for grabs across individual and team scoring. But it gets even better. The event didn’t end at the finish line. There was a full on afterparty with a DJ, food trucks, and drinks. The entire event experience was really one-of-a-kind. Mixing fitness, fun, and community – just bringing a real unique energy to the running world. Well done Bandit.

Well done, Bandit – and a special shout-out for using Yapari as the main typeface across the entire event identity.
