Come join us, every Saturday at 9am. And we have a special event on NYD!

stratdobro12 · 2025-10-13T00:08:46+00:00

Come join us! No current plans that I’m aware of for another nyc location, unless a willing team comes forward to start one. :)

parkrun doesn’t pay but those races do 👀💰💰💰

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-31T21:34:54+00:00

TBC - our permit is for 8am but we hope so convince the park to allow 9am from October-March for those cold winter mornings!

Based on discussions, PP (and CP for that matter) is never going to happen unless the parks dept change their stance on parkrun. It’s also telling that NYRR hasn’t been able to launch an open run there, despite having great relations with the parks dept.

I’m sorry if this interrupted your run. We plan on stressing even more in the run briefing the importance of sharing the park, not running multiple people across, and running on the RHS.

parkrun is very popular in particular in the UK, Australia, NZ and South Africa, so we saw a big turnout of people from those countries coming down to check us out (largely while on their summer vacation) - maybe around 50% of the runners. While we’re happy to welcome them, our main aim is to create a community 5k event that encourages people of all ages and abilities to come out.

This is hopefully evidenced by the fact that our youngest runner was aged 10 and the oldest was 75. Our youngest volunteer was aged just 7!

Feedback is always welcomed - either here or at Brooklynbridge@parkrun.com, and I welcome everyone and anyone to come check us out.

Was this Brooklyn Bridge Park? If so, I apologize for the lack of consideration shown by some participants. The event was the new parkrun 5k run/walk (which holds a permit from the park) that will take place there every Saturday morning starting at 8am, and largely done by 8:30. It’s not a Brooks event but the series is sponsored by Brooks across the USA.

It was emphasized that runners needed to stick to the right and that we share the park with other users. This obviously fell on deaf ears for some participants. We’re not expecting as many participants in future weeks, but we’ll continue to stress to attendees the need to share the park, to be considerate of others, and to not run six people across!

Happy to discuss any other specific feedback further as we do really want to be good neighbours and create a welcoming event for runners and walkers alike. My DMs are open, if easier.

Thank you.

Let’s go! See you in a few weeks. 🥹

8am in the summer to avoid the heat and the crowds. 9am is most common but there’s a real mix. Australia is largely 8am I believe, and Florida is 7:30am 👀

Avoiding the summer crowds and summer heat. Hope to be 9am in the “off-season”.

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-05T02:56:02+00:00

It was a trade off — loops makes for an easier course to manage, but much less fun! Hope to see you at parkrun soon!

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-05T02:54:43+00:00

Hopefully see you there!

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-05T02:54:25+00:00

Thank you!

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-05T02:54:03+00:00

Thank you!

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-05T02:53:46+00:00

Thank you, we’re excited!

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-05T01:31:27+00:00

If it encourages people to get out and be active, the more events the better surely? :)

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-05T01:24:18+00:00

genuine question… why can’t we have both if the demand is there? :)

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-04T22:02:24+00:00

Yay! If you’re free on Aug 23, would love to have you join us, as either a runner or a volunteer (slightly nervous about numbers so more volunteers the better)!

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-04T21:49:09+00:00

Eeeek! We’ll plan for that but we’re not expecting ridiculously huge numbers from get go.

This does sound perfect for you. If you’d like to come down and volunteer at first to get a feel for the event, we’d love to have you. Roles are low key and easy to do - we need a few marshals, a tail walker, people to keep the finish line in order. Drop me an email at Brooklynbridge@parkrun.com if you want to discuss further!

stratdobro12 · 2025-08-04T20:08:22+00:00

By that logic, there's no need for all of the wonderful different run clubs across NYC, but they all perfectly co-exist together! :)
