Join us for a Social Striders Thursday Morning Rise and Run in Central Park! We typically run 2-4 miles around the reservoir and sometimes up to 6 miles (in cooler months). But you can also run or walk however much you’d like 😁. All paces and people with good vibes are welcome. We’ll do a quick stretch promptly at 7am and then head straight out to the run. Post run coffee/refreshment not required, but if you have the time, we usually get coffee after the run. Questions or comments - feel free to message me directly or comment below.
