Astoria Runners is a welcoming community centered around a shared passion for running. They host weekly group runs, participate in organized races, and engage in various running-related activities. Their primary run is a 5k / 3-mile route on Wednesday evenings in Astoria Park and along the East River, maintaining a pace typically ranging from 9:30 to 10:30 minutes per mile. Runners of all levels are encouraged to join, and a midpoint break ensures that nobody is left behind. Weekend runs cover distances of 6-13 miles at a similar pace, with flexibility for varying speeds and walking intervals. Meeting at the benches near the Astoria Park Track, they offer a supportive environment for runners to challenge themselves and connect with others.
