   and return by 10:00 am.

  

   The workout takes place in Central Park, mostly on soft surfaces.

   The workout is open to all team members regardless of pace.

   Since stretching is key to keeping muscles and joints in good

   then ends with a group stretch.

 

   Purpose: To stay healthy, build team cohesion, nurture body/mind/spirit.

 

   The cost is $40 for the  5-week session.

   Or you can drop in for $10 whenever life allows you to.

   The cost is $85 for the 10-week session.

   A D O P T   A   R A C E

 

   NEW YORK ROAD RUNNERS’ annual calendar features more than 100 running/walking events

   throughout New York City, including road races ranging from 1 to 50 miles, cross country races,

   indoor track meets, and kids races.

 

   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, June    6, 2010:   Japan Day Run (4M)

   Sunday, June  27, 2010:   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.
