A Day in New York City With the Prospect Park Track Club [Photos]

Six times a week, anywhere from 30 to 70 members of Prospect Park Track Club — one of New York City’s largest groups with a membership of 2,500 — will lace up their shoes and hit the streets of Brooklyn.

Depending on the time of day or night, the group will go on a training run, focus on speed or try something more low key.

“We have sort of a menu, and every group run has its own purpose and reputation,” Prospect Park Track Club president Crystal Cun told FN.

Prospect Park Track Club aims to be all things to all people, Cun explained, holding to its half century-old roots as a competitive running club that trains people to get faster and better at the sport, while also being a social opportunity.

Here’s a look at one of the club’s many weekly events.
