Open Communication Forum

This is a new vehicle for an Open Communication Forum by the members, and for the members. This group is not for official messages from PPTC, but for members to voice their opinions or concerns, post comments, connect with other runners, start a topic for discussion, or share new ideas that the entire PPTC membership can benefit.

Group Runs - Saturdays and Wednesdays

PPTC and Slope Sports have teamed up for weekly group runs.

Saturday mornings at 8am, we meet on the sidewalk at Grand Army Plaza. Distances and paces vary according to the group make up. This is an ideal set up for finding training partners to suit your goals. Non club members are welcome to join us.

Wednesday night runs meet regularly at 7:15 pm, also at GAP. These runs have become well established, and provide a chance for evening runners to run with the group.

Prospect Park Youth Running Group

PPTC has been helping to promote the launching of the Prospect Park Youth Running Club, and we are glad to report that the response has been well beyond expectations. Current information on the group, headed by Sean Rice, long time track coach of Midwood HS, can be accessed at www.ppyrc.com


IF YOU ARE RUNNING, WEAR YOUR COLORS. IF YOU ARE NOT, VOLUNTEER. OR DO BOTH!!!
