Zach McCurdy Studio

Zach McCurdy Studio Zach McCurdy Studio is a creative studio with a focus in illustration & design based in Queens, New No no. He doesn't do Brooklyn. Please. He's in Queens.

Zach McCurdy is an illustrator/designer living in New York, but like not what you would think New York. So anyway he does a lot of drawing, mostly good ones but sometimes ones that don't look so great. His methods vary, but his style remains true. Wish he could say the same for his wardrobe. Get it together, Zach.

I swear it’s my final post about running solo (but will never stop talking about it 👀)!

I went into this thing thinking i had a lot of solutions to the expected problems that would show up, but very quickly realized how naive i was. Naive, about all of it really. From the difficultly, the pain, and thinking “it’ll be similar to the relay”, which it was not at all. I also underestimated the amount of love, support, and community i’d feel.

The beauty of it all to me was just how in union you were with the other runners, support crews, and especially my own crew, who i am eternally grateful for, and to whom i owe my finish to. We ran the sun awake and ran the moon to sleep and there are many many memories and miles that will always be close to my heart.

There is no way i can articulate it all into words, because there are so many feelings/emotions were words fail to encompass the energy i felt in body & mind. Thank you tho to everyone who made this journey what it is. Thank you for the conversations, thank you for the miles, thank you for the love, and thank you for the facetimes, phones calls, and messages that kept me powering on when Day 03 happened (we don’t talk much about Day 03).

Finally thank you crew, like i said without you there is no LA Start line and especially no LV Finish line.

🌵Taking on something like The Speed Project means asking friends to take an absurd amount of PTO days to live in an RV for a week while you run across the desert.
Wouldn’t be feeling as ready and confident as I do without my coach and crew helping me along the way and through race week! I’m apologizing ahead of time for all of my idiosyncrasies that come out during TSP

🌵Race month is here for The Speed Project and having all the feelings right now. Nervous. Excited. Optimistic. Stoked. Questioning all details (and sanity. But overall just excited to have the body and mind feeling in top shape to take on this challenge!

It’s been a minute since i’ve done an overview of what this race through the desert is, so i figured i’d pull together a lil overview! More info to come on my crew and how to follow along during race week!

🌵TSP SOLO’26: February Recap
So many good miles this month with friends and my self! Really tested the mental limits on the treadmill and realized this weekend just how bad i’m hankering for that good Spring sunshine that’s coming. Also stoked to have finally reached my first 100+ mile week of training (103 total).

With February in the books, now we’re headed into March, which is RACE MONTH, and all the details are getting locked down. Excited for the adventures ahead!

🌵TSP SOLO’26 January Training Recap:
• Miles: 313mi
• Elevation: 10,052ft
• Location: NYC, Maine

January has been full of snowy frigid miles that’s got me running more on the treadmill than i ever thought possible, but has been a blast nonetheless! Experienced my first cold plunge in the Darmiscotta River in, ran in near sub-zero temps, and pulling together alllll the details for our route & race strategy.

It be nice to get this weather back into double digits.

🗽2025 NYC Marathon and marathon #03 in the books!! The best marathon in the best city in the world! and we locked it down with 3/3 sub-3 marathons (2:55:54 this year)!!

What really made yesterday and this whole weekend extra special was getting the chance to combine my two loves, running & illustration together, and getting to collab with the NYC running community! Thank you to and for giving me the chance to illustrate for ya! Getting to see the designs in Time Square was incredible and racing by WFRC cheer zone on race day with a crowd of shirt designs gave me a much needed jolt! Thank you to the NYC running community for always coming together to create one of the most special days of the year!

And as always much love to for bringing all that Queens energy right before Queensboro Bridge! Y’all are a true showcase to what it means to be in community! Special shoutout to my day-1 race partner who i’ve raced next to for the last 2-3 years and always makes the start line calm, collected and locked in on getting the goals done!

Now i’m gonna spend the rest of the day soaking my feet and zoning out. 🧘‍♂️

(P.S: Don’t forget to vote for Zohran for Mayor this tuesday!!)

🍎🗽🏃‍♂️ I’m soooo excited to share a project I can finally talk about! Over the the Summer I had the opportunity to work with to design an illustration for their Age Group World Championships that’s happening HERE at the !

I couldn’t have asked for a project that perfectly blends to big pieces of who I am and a dream team of Creative Directors who made the whole process seamless.

It was truly such an honor to get the chance to illustrate for not just the greatest city in the world but the greatest marathon in the world too!! See y’all at the start line on November 2nd!
