Prospect Park Track Club

We learn of each other, laugh together, cheer each other on, and as the days and months pass by we may recognize that we’ve found love among this community of runners. Today we celebrate that love and remember that no matter what the world throws at us, we have each other.

Given my mind’s historical bent (it runs in my family), I had other questions about the Cherry Tree 10-miler. Mainly, I wanted to know: why host a ten-mile race in February, of all months? Answering this question led to many other questions.

As a team, we can work towards our goals by holding each other accountable and encouraging one another. You all got this and we got all of you!

In the midst of this dry spell, fires ripped through the tristate area. From October 2024 to mid-November 2024 there were 860 wildfires across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. New York City had 270 brush fires in November alone, which is a historical record.  The larger fires in Inwood Hill Park, Van Cortlandt Park, and Prospect Park were particularly devastating.
