Central Park Tuesday Evening Run

We will meet at Central Park South (59th Street) and 6th Ave at the bike racks by 6:45pm, walk a bit into the park to the lawn just north of Center Drive (the main running/biking thoroughfare), and do a quick warm up before setting off. The lawn is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7q8UuyAG3CaKGSGeA

In light of recent events in Central Park, to prioritize the safety of our runners, our official route for this fall/winter (when sunset is prior to 7:30pm) will entail running the lower loop of Central park twice (ie, run counterclockwise from the stretching area, up (north) on East Drive, turn left (west) at 72nd street, run west past Bethesda Terrace, and turn left (south) on West Drive. The lower loop is about 1.75 miles in circumference, so 2 loops will be about 3.5 miles. Route is as below.

After the run, we'll meet on the same lawn as where we did the pre-run stretch. We’ll stretch here before heading out.

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, at a restaurant within walking distance. Will announce the watering hole at the run.
