… ~John Bingham   A bit about the organizer: I started running about 2 years ago when my daughter was 10 months old. I needed a way to relieve stress, get some "me" time and add fitness back into my life. Lately I've been looking for some running support and other like minded mamas that are interested in running as a form of exercise. That being said, I am looking for moms that will be ACTIVE participants in the group. Running together only works if you actually show up! Understandably, moms are b …

I LOVE tennis!!  My relationship with running is a bit more complicated.  It's more of a love/hate type thing.  I love the energy and excitement of races, but I hate running alone.  So I figured, why not start a Queens Tennis meetup that incorporates warm up and short distance runs before we play tennis.  Two of my favorite parks are Astoria Park and Flushing Meadows/Corona Park, so I will be alternating the meetups between these two parks.  Both are great for running and tennis. The purpose of …

Ok guys, so I am creating this group because I personally need a bit of a push to go running either early in the morning and/or late evenings. I also wanted to find other people in the Bronx Park East area (by the 2 train) and Morris Park area (by 5 train) who is interested in finding that motivation to run and exercise again. Anyone from any age group is welcomed. I will come up with different running routes to bring variety and I am willing to take suggestions too. I also have a membership wit …

Let's meet in Morningside Park to run and walk as a group, workup a sweat, start the year off with some healthy habits and utilize a beautiful park in our neighborhood.

This group was started to get people, like myself, in better shape than we already are. I work out during the week but am looking to get a bit more out of my weekends. My goal is to be in the best shape possible for the summer (and rest of the year).  Rain, Sleet, or Snow.   So I'm starting a running/calisthenics program for anyone from Astoria who wants to join: Saturday (3pm) and Sunday (4pm). The workouts shouldn't take more than 1.5 hours (including warm up and cool down). Bring enough water …

This group is for women in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area who like running. It'll be a pretty casual group with runs happening once a week or so. I started it so that (1) I could become friends with some cool running ladies in the hood, (2) I could have some extra motivation to run on those more lethargic mornings and nights and (3) running with other people is fun!   Runs will be pretty laid-back. I'll schedule a few 5 milers and we can see how that feels. Suggestions on types of workouts, ro …

Barefoot Runners NYC is a group of runners who have left their thick-soled sneakers in the dust and started running with Vibram Five Fingers, other minimal sole shoes, or totally barefoot. Maybe you've read Born to Run, or maybe you've gotten injured running and are looking for a better solution -- whatever your reason, this is the place. The body's natural stride is a healthier, more natural way to run, resulting in better running efficiency and fewer injuries. We follow a lot of Daniel Lieb …

We are runners in the New York City neighborhoods of Woodside, Sunnyside and surrounding areas of Queens. Our area may be less than a couple miles from that island borough to our west (and their centrally located park), but that doesn't mean we don't love running on the hills and beneath actual trees on this side of the East River! We even have a cozy track in our 'hood! Join the group and tell us where you like to run! We organize group runs and outings so that we can build a community of runne …

Those of us who love running in Queens get to experience the best of all worlds.  We are in the greatest city in the world, in the most diverse county in the country.  We have fantastic parks in our borough - and even two major airports to carry us to distant races.  We have beaches.  We have challenging hills and shady trees.  We have a Major League Baseball team, a world-class tennis center (and tournament), and have been the home to more people of influence than you can count on all of our ha …
