The track is on Alantic between Utica & Troy behind the school which faces Fulton.

I’m months away from 10K shape but I’d run Monday. What time and where’s the Boys and Girls track? I just moved to the neighborhood this week.

Can we set a time to meet at the Boys and Girls track as early as Monday to get some work in before the 10k on 10/7?

The Bed-Stuy Boot Camp was run by Will at Food for Thought. Not sure how to reach him since the cafe has been closed but the folks at Bread Stuy used to participate so they may have a contact. Also, the track at Boys and Girls High School is open to the public daily from 6-9 (check times). Gets crowded at times but nice.

i’d also be interested in hearing more about a running group … especially if there’s a good, sage, well-lit place to do some evening runs as the days get shorter!

I run a lot and would be up for joining a local running group.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a Bed-Stuy Boot Camp. I heard of rumors about it, but couldn’t find it anywhere…

That’s okay whenever you want to practice sprinting, but I was hoping to see a group formed that would do long runs on a weekly basis.
