They usually get announced by now, for August

Our trail training group was running clockwise on the loop this morning around 6:35am near the zoo when a runner came through our group and seemingly purposely ran into one of the women. I don’t think we were taking up the whole lane, and the collision happened on the inside anyway (I’d normally expect folks to run on the right like the pavement pictographs depict). In the off-chance that the person who ran through us is in this sub I’d be interested to hear if we were being jerks. We’ve been training as a small group for the last 10 years or so in the park and haven’t had any prior issues but am always open to feedback!

Otherwise, just a plug for the training groups to continue to be cognizant of not taking up the whole road and also for runners in general to be kind to one another, we’re all out here just trying to be a little healthier and happier.

This is so tragic but my chronic injury has returned and I’m thinking about deferring my spot for next year (did the 9+1 in 2025 for the 2026 marathon). How do i go about deferring? Anything I should know about doing this? Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

I registered for the NYRR standby list soon after the Jun 9 race drop - has anyone had luck with this?

Im interested in starting one here in flushing maybe a sunday morning run or even weekday afternoons and then grow a community around it, hosting some events in the future.
Anybody else down?

Are we really supposed to avoid between 76-96 on the east side of the park? I can’t tell what is hysteria and what is recommended. Thanks!

I just need to get my +1 for this year, and I know there's only one chance left on July 16. I was wondering whether I should be worried about getting a spot, really don't want to miss out on 2027 just because of this. Was also thinking about if I upgrade to member plus, if I would get the early access on the 14th, just to guarantee a spot?

Hello! Does anyone have thoughts on the sleepy hollow halloween 10K course? It seems kind of hilly, but I don't know what total elevation is. Curious if it's a good option for running a fast race

I'm looking for a race that weekend, and this seems like a good option if I don't want to go to governor's island again for the haunted island 10K. Appreciate the thoughts!

I'm turning 30 this July, and thought it would be fun to go for a sub-5 minute mile. I've decided on this Saturday, July 11th, as the attempt date.

I'm hoping to find a pacer to run either part or all of the mile with me, as I find it so much easier to run with someone vs. solo, especially when pushing it. So come run a ~4:55-4:59 min mile with me Saturday morning. At the very least it should hopefully be a good workout :)

Hitting the time should be doable (ran a 4:4X last year at 5th Ave Mile and am in much better shape now) but think it will be much more possible with a pacer to keep me motivated for each lap.

If capable and interested, please comment and I will DM with more details on track and timing.

Just moved to manhattan two days ago, looking for non competitive fun clubs/groups that are pace inclusive (12-13 min miles). Any recs?

Anyone has recommendations for someone who can critique my running form? Not just a gait analysis, but arm swing, head position, feet flex, time on ground etc? Essentially i am looking for guidance to improve my overall form. Ideally with video analysis, in gym or track or outside somewhere

Running the marathon with the Alzheimer’s Association but not sure when we’re supposed to register and pay the $315 entry fee. Does anyone have additional info on this? I’ve already met my fundraising minimum and can’t get in contact with our coordinator. She doesn’t answer her email.

This morning’s run was a struggle. Really felt like I was swimming. That’s all.

Haven’t done the smaller races so looking for some info. I notice the 9/11 4M race says 730am start. Is that all corrals or are there a few waves? Trying to work out if I can make it getting into Penn Station at 6:52 or if I need a different plan. Thanks. (II’m corral c if it’s relevant)

Looking for advice where to find hiking like trails to run in the city. I am prefer to avoid hard concrete or asphalt for my legs. Any areas with a 2 mile+ path I can follow?
I am located in queens
