November Project

The November Project is a free, open-to-the-public exercise group founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2011.^[1] The name "November Project" comes from the Google Doc that the founders shared to track their progress in November 2011. While sessions occur year-round, the name stuck.

Founded by Brogan Graham and Bojan Mandaric, both Northeastern crew alumni, the group was started as a way to keep working out through Boston's cold winter months. The pair made a pact to continue to meet at 6:30 am every day through the month of November.^[2][3]

Since that original promise, the group has grown to hundreds of members who exercise multiple times a week in a number of cities around the United States, Canada, Asia and Europe. Membership is open and free to the general public. The group employs several recruiting strategies including a blog, a Facebook page,^[4] and a Twitter account,^[5] in addition to various media outlets including Runner's World magazine,^[6][7][8] the Boston Globe,^[9][10][11] and NPR.^[12]

The group selected specific locations within the city of Boston (as well as immediate communities such as Brookline and Cambridge) for its workouts. The standard locations include Harvard Stadium for its stairs, and Corey Hill Outlook Park (also known as "Summit Ave.") in Brookline.

As of June 1, 2022^[update], November Project was active in 58 locations across the world:^{[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]}
