The workout is open to all team members regardless of pace. Since stretching is key to keeping muscles and joints in good health, each workout begins with a group stretch and form check, then ends with a group stretch. We return to NYRR to pickup bags by 8:00pm. Purpose: To stay healthy, build team cohesion, nurture body/mind/spirit. All Merms are welcome to join the 1^stSession on June 18^th for free to tryout the group workout. The cost is $85 for the 10 sessions. Please bring a check (payable to Donna Checkan) to the first session. Sliding scale available, contact Donna Checkan.

NYRR needs and greatly appreciates the assistance of VOLUNTEERS at all of these events. Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to the sport of running. Once again Mercury Masters is continuing their ‘Adopt a Race’ tradition as a show of appreciation to the New York Road Runners by marshalling two races: Sunday, April 20, 2008: adidas Run for the Parks 4M Sunday, June 22, 2008: Achilles Hope & Possibility 5M With the help of  ‘fashionable’ orange bibs, and bullhorns, we will keep runners in the recreation lanes, direct park traffic, and act as a cheering section for all runners.
