WSR Rockaway Run
Details
It’s that time of year again. Let’s get together and run across Queens - to Rockaway Beach about a 14mile-ish run. Please read the full event description so that you understand what you are possibly signing up for.
This is a great opportunity to do something that most normal people would never consider doing. This will absolutely not be an easy run. It’ll likely be hot and humid. There are some long hills in the first half. And, the scenery along the second half of the run is not exactly the most exciting in our borough. But, we’ll end on the beach!
We will take this run at a casual pace - all are welcome to participate as long as you can complete distance without stopping. This said, we will be forced to stop periodically for traffic lights and as-needed to be sure that the group sticks together (i.e., we won’t lose anybody).
Where you can meet us: Woodside Ave & 56th St!
If you would like to meet us somewhere along the way (whether for convenience or to cover a shorter distance), please message the organizer to coordinate. It is quite easy to take one of the several Woodhaven Blvd. buses to a suitable point that will work for you.
Please RSVP by Friday Sept 4th!
Please be sure to use sunblock, and bring whatever fluids you may need. Be sure to bring cash, as well as your Metrocard for the return trip.
Please be very sure that you are ready for the distance before agreeing to participate. This is for your safety and to allow others to meet their training objectives. If you have questions about anything, please message your organizer.
This run will proceed, rain, shine, heat and just about anything else. In the event of torrential rain, thunderstorms or hazardous conditions, we will post an update and email all who RSVP, no later than 7:15am.
