Sunday LongRun is a weekly long-run series for runners building mileage, particularly those training for Boston in the spring or New York in the fall. The group gathers at Tom Stofka Garden, previously known as “The Bins.” Start times are 8:30 AM from Labor Day to Memorial Day and 7:30 AM from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Runs typically cover 12 to 22 miles, with paces ranging from under 7 minutes per mile to over 10, and the effort level is between comfortable and comfortably hard.
Routes vary weekly, and most offer options to shorten the run or add miles to suit individual training plans. Aaron, Angela, Jennifer, Justin, Roe, Stephen, and Sam guide the runs. Runners use the Google Group to share Friday details and post paces, enabling others to find companions running at a similar speed. Participants should be prepared for a long morning, bringing water, ID, insurance information, a MetroCard, cash, and any other essentials that fit in an arm wallet or pouch.
