Weekly Fun Runs
Front Runners New York offers members, newcomers, and guests weekly fun runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Join us!
Tuesdays
Brooklyn - 7:00 PM
LOCATION: Prospect Park
or Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6
On Tuesdays, we congregate at the 3rd St. and Prospect Park West entrance in front of the Panther statues at 7:00 PM for a loop of Prospect Park; the run starts by 7:15 PM. Bag drop availability varies on a week by week basis. Check our schedule for the most recent availability.
On the second Tuesday of each month, the run meets at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park as part of the NYRR Open Run series. The Open Run starts promptly at 7:00 so be sure to arrive a few minutes early to sign in. Bag drop is always available at the NYRR Open Run.
Each week, a different member selects a restaurant in the area for our post-run dinner, which is a great way to socialize. Contact brooklyn@frny.org with any questions.
Wednesdays
Manhattan - 7:00 PM
LOCATION: Across from the Daniel Webster Statue, Central Park
The Wednesday Fun Run is often our largest group of runners of the week, meeting each Wednesday in Central Park. If you wish to drop off a bag before the run, meet in the basement of Rutgers Church by 6:40 PM. We depart for Central Park promptly at 6:45 PM. Runners who do not wish to drop off a bag can meet the group inside Central Park across from the Daniel Webster Statue at 7:00 PM. Bags will be available at the bag drop location no earlier than 8:00 PM.
After the run, we all meet back at the Daniel Webster Statue. Members often go out for dinner together. All are welcome to attend!
Saturdays
Manhattan - 10:00 AM
LOCATION: Across from the Daniel Webster Statue, Central Park
The Saturday Fun Run is a weekly mainstay like our Wednesday run, drawing a huge group runners and walkers each week. It’s a great event for new runners and those visiting from other cities.
If you wish to drop off a bag before the run, meet in the basement of Rutgers Church by 9:40 AM. We depart for Central Park promptly at 9:45 AM. Runners who do not wish to drop off a bag can meet the group inside Central Park across from the Daniel Webster Statue at 10:00 AM. The Saturday Fun Run is followed by a light breakfast social in the basement recreation room of Rutgers Church. All are welcome to attend!
