Social Striders Running Club

What better way to finish a weekend than detox with a brisk Sunday morning run followed by some coffee and food in Central Park with great company.

Run with us and choose between a scenic 2, 3, or 4 mile loop around the southern portion of Central Park followed by some coffee and a bite to eat. All paces are welcome and encouraged.

Comments, concerns, or complaints? Talk to someone else.

Looking for a good time and a way to shake your feet Sunday? Come join us.

Ever wished for a run club that met midday instead of in the early morning or evening? 🤔

We’ve created just the thing for those of us with nontraditional schedules! 😊

Come join us for a 3-4 mile run in Central Park on Mondays at 4pm.🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎽

We’ll meet at the USS Maine monument in Columbus Circle, then we’ll stretch for 5 minutes and head off! (Please try to arrive 10 minutes early as we will depart the meetup location by 4:05.)

No worries if you’d prefer to do fewer or more miles. We’ll regroup at the meeting location in 45 minutes (by 4:50).

Afterwards, we’ll get bubble tea and other drinks from TP TEA at West 58th and 8th Avenue then head back to Central Park to hang out. 😄

Come and join for a zone 2 training on Tuesday mornings! Zone 2 training is to maintain at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. It has many benefits (just ask the Internet).

Basically, we will jog at a speed where we can still talk. After the run, we can grab a cup of coffee and breakfast.

Here is the route:

Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday mornings!

Please note that the Tuesday evening run meeting location is now the same as that for our Thursday and weekend runs: Central Park South (59th Street) and 6th Ave at the bike racks. We will convene starting at 6:45pm. There will be:

-a 3 mile loop option: go north on East Drive, cross the Great Lawn going west, and run back (south) on West Drive.

-OR a 4 mile loop option: go north on East Drive, enter the Reservoir around E 85th street, run along the Reservoir, then exit at West 86th street and run back (south) on West Drive.

We'll meet on the green space post-run near the bike racks to stretch. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7q8UuyAG3CaKGSGeA

All levels/speeds/distances are welcome - it's just more fun to run with friends! We'll also head for dinner/drinks after the run. We rotate between an east side and west side restaurant week after week. Will announce the watering hole at the run.
