Open Communication Forum
This is a new vehicle for an Open Communication Forum by the members, and for the members.

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!!!
