Group Runs/Races

Our Wednesday Night Trail Series offers a fun, low-pressure way to get some miles in midweek. Held in Staten Island, this 4-5 mile trail run takes you through scenic routes, with the entire course clearly marked to ensure a smooth and easy experience. It’s an informal and relaxed group run, welcoming runners of all levels. Whether you’re looking to unwind or get in a consistent workout, this is a great way to enjoy nature, connect with fellow runners, and stay motivated throughout the spring and summer months.

Our Prospect Park group run is a steady-paced, welcoming run held every other Sunday. The parks main loop is just over 3 miles, so you’re welcome to do one lap or more, depending on your training goals. Sometimes, we mix it up and venture outside the park, running over the Brooklyn or Manhattan Bridge for a change of scenery. It’s a great way to train for NYRR races, log miles with a supportive group, and enjoy some of the best running routes in the city.
