Bergen Runners is a group of runners who believe in supporting and cheering for one another. We come from North NJ townships along Route 4, Route 17 and west of the Hudson River. Away from running, we come from all walks of life: professionals, scientists, artists, parents, husbands, wives, children, couples, singles, etc…Our running paths wind through major parks and hidden trails in various neighborhoods. Together, we run into the sunrise and sunset; we sweat and laugh through personal and physical challenges. What sets us apart from other running clubs is a shared passion for running, community and the love of Chinese culture. We welcome runners of all ages, abilities, paces and distances and provide them with training, development, support and motivation. Whether you are already a seasoned runner, a causal runner or a new runner, we’re here to run with you.

“莫说青山多障碍, 风也疾风也劲，莫说水中多变幻，水也清水也静”。我们“湖人队”的风水宝地硬石湖平常都是风和日丽青山绿水的。上周太热，教练米雪夫妇已经开始在为比赛准备冰水海绵来防暑降温了。教练甚至亲自去了一趟石湖祈求湖仙帮忙降温。可能是教练的虔诚感动了仙女，本周温度果然骤降至50多度。群里一片欢腾，感谢湖仙显灵，都说这是最佳跑马天气。然而，湖仙子却似乎稍微用力过猛了点，周末的时候，开始刮风下雨了，温度也进一步降至50度以下，风冷体感温度更是只有30多度。
