INFO & FAQs

What is the GYPSY RUN?

The East Coast Gypsy Run started in 2007. Inspired by the El Diablo Run a bunch of like minded east coast motorcyclists meet up on the internets and planned a motorcycle run. 300 miles through the best of the east coast. Simple. We ran until 2022 and realized we needed a break. After a few years of some of the nicest emails telling me how much they missed the run, we thought it was a good time to bring it back. The best part of the run is meeting people the old fashioned way, broken down on the side of the road.
