Nearly 100 runners representing 5 Chinese running clubs around the metropolitan (Bergen Runners\, Flying Fox\, Misty Mountain\, NewBee & Trail Hoppers) inked their footprints through the streets of Union Square\, Flatiron\, Greenwich Village\, Noho\, Washington Square\, Tribeca\, Battery Park\, Wall Street\, Chinatown\, Stuyvesant Town\, Gramercy\, Two Bridges\, East Village\, Lower East Side & Alphabet City. \nTo organize an event of this scale and in such short time\, many individuals are to thank. Group leaders are tasked with familiarizing themselves with the route so as to provide the best and safest running experience possible to participants while ensuring our Pig ? route remained in tact. It’s a daunting task and they did so beautifully. Did I also mentioned the commadaire was second to none? While equal parts social\, sightseeing and challenge\, this run kicked off something of tremendous historic and personal significance. \nNYC is renowned for its fertile soil for the dreamers\, the hard-workers and the gifted. For this reason\, it remains as our immigrant nation’s immigrant capital. Yet little was known about our forefathers\, the first Chinese’s experience\, their contributions and toils in the land of the free and the home of the brave. While this year marks the 150th anniversary since the First Transcontinental Railroad was built\, we are only beginning to scratch the surface of the contribution of Chinese men who were instrumental in building a key segment of the railroad. Instead\, they were discriminated because of their race and perceived reticence. Their contributions were undocumented until recently. In effort to tell their stories (and really ours)\, the Museum of Chinese in America launched “MOCA Spike 150 – Running Forward with Our Stories”. (Spike refers the ceremonial metal spike that was nailed into the railroad to commemorate the completion of the project.). While our forefathers’ stories were never recorded and their effort\, unrecognized\, we have the privilege and opportunity to honor and give a voice to them. Equally important\, we are at a crossroad of history to craft and own a narrative that is overdue. As a mother of young children\, I can’t imagine a better gift for my kids. I hope they too will one day run forward with our stories. \n#bergenrunners #nycrunning #MOCASpike150 #跑猪庆猪年 #野豬迎春 #nyc #manhattan #lunarnewyear #yearofthepig #run #runlikeagirl #runningmotivation #littlelegs #捕?行動 \nEvent Photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/moca-spike-150-year-of-the-pig-run/ LOCATION:New York CATEGORIES:Group Run,Social & Family Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20190210_MOCA_SPIKE150_猪跑-1005.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180713T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180714T013000 DTSTAMP:20260417T010958 CREATED:20180525T160304Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180715T045523Z UID:1282-1531519200-1531531800@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Henry Hudson Drive Run DESCRIPTION:On the mildly warm morning of July 14th\, the organizers\, volunteers and runners of Bergen Runners hosted an runner version of Avengers in Palisade Interstate Park. Several prestige sister and brother running clubs from NY and NJ were cordially invited to venture and conquer the notoriously hilly yet racer-obsessed “Northern Slope”. About 80 proud runners attended in their team jerseys and greeted each other.  \nThe custom-designed course overlooked the beautiful Hudson River from the top of a 7.4-mile rolling cliff from Fort Lee to Alpine NJ. Our runners and cyclists were attracted by the scenery view and the intermediate climb challenges. New records of both distance and elevation had been set!  \nThis was not the typical weekend group run. The runners were amazed by the well-thought-out services and amenities prepared by the organizers and volunteers: (icy) water and snack stations on route\, corralled waves tailored to meet various runners’ goals\, private-car “shuttle” services to send runners from the finish back to the start line\, as well as a generous and healthy post-run breakfast feast. Hovering and humming above us\, a DJI drone brought by the MMR club\, looked down and recorded the unforgettable moments of ours.  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n跑友的佳作： \n☀北坡之恋\n作者：岚山诗人奔向标竿 \n美诗人三宝娘说\n来吧，和北坡谈一场\n低配速的恋爱 \n美队长Renny说\n来吧，來北坡享受一場\n虐我千遍也不厭倦的愛戀 \n百骏美跑群说\n来吧，同胞跑友\n让我们同享奔驰的盛宴 \n我们来了\n从曼哈顿，从皇后\n从长岛\n从哈德逊江东岸 \n我们来了\n从蜜尔本，从爱迪生\n从普林斯顿\n从哈德逊江西岸 \n沿江上下起伏的跑道\n激动得令人心跳\n沿途青春茂树\n为我们挥汗遮阳引路 \n沿途的一个个水站\n是炎炎夏里的清泉\n始终贴心的服务\n是百骏人爱的表述 \n美好时光总有段落\n我们依依不舍告别分手\n滔滔哈德逊江水永流\n歌唱友情天长地久 \n  \n☀哈德逊河畔北坡7月英雄大会\n作者：百骏詩人朱珉 \n大河东去岁月催，百骏意慕英雄会。\n群豪纵马越北坡，携手放歌一场醉。 \n  \n☀北坡英雄会\n作者：百骏才女三宝娘 \n没有少林的武当是孤独的，孤独的只剩一头山或一座岛。百骏领队撒下英雄贴，邀美东跑者共征北坡，解跑者孤独，扬武林之喧闹。来自美东各大跑群近百人齐聚华盛顿桥下，以跑会友。纽约大群岚山，人才济济，堪比跑者武当，来的个个都神似大侠，更携各种先进无人机等独门兵器，襟上一个”岚”字，就藐视群脚。新州东奔西跑团一看是江湖夜行流派，团名小字藏于衣衫暗角，谈的却是50K 独行秘芨。说笑间，五六个仙风道骨，峨眉气质小侠从坡上飘然而下，是纽约新峰跑团，其长处就是话不多，步步致命，一个字，快。新州熊猫群江湖道路似是亲民路线，话题围绕茶叶蛋里究竟放多少茶叶之武功基础话题，类似少林和尙先挑水还是先练功之千古之议。江湖上遇见妇孺要分外小心，此姝听闻在几个茶叶蛋的讨论之前已悄然NQ了。普林越野听名就擅长程，品味咖啡间，眼神已往坡上飘移，算计坡上来回距离是不是还太短，坏了他们一世英名。绝世武功出自切磋，美好生活在于折腾，折腾团用轻松小步踏出练武宗诣。这样的英雄会自然少不了全宇宙流派飞狐大群，虽然千年来他们拳打少林，脚踢武当的雄心未泯，但这次专派78分队，助群雄共征七上八下之北坡。 \n百骏持一贯古道西风，侠胆肝肠之风格。来了就是友，跑了就算人。备下中西风格跑前赛后茶食，引领各路英雄歁察厕所水站地形，讲迖北坡四季风情。后面的故事已被众多诗人编成各种传唱。 \n七月十四号的北坡注定载入美东华人跑者的史册，百骏掌门来自宝岛的倾城美女Renny 纵横连合大多出身大陆的跑群大侠，实现蒋公未达之遗愿，替这些平时大隐于世没于柴米油盐的平凡英雄们铸成个统一大写的江湖。 URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/henry-hudson-drive-run/ LOCATION:Henry Hudson Drive\, Ross Dock Picnic Area\, Fort Lee\, New Jersey CATEGORIES:Group Run,Social & Family Event,Theme Run ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_2933.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180610T023000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180610T043000 DTSTAMP:20260417T010958 CREATED:20180613T225156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180624T151355Z UID:2727-1528597800-1528605000@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Woodcliff Lake Run Post-Race Party in Truly Sichuan DESCRIPTION:After the Woodcliff Lake 5K/10K\, Bergen Runners awarded themselves with a full-course Sichuan feast at the newly opened Truly Sichuan in Ridgewood. \nOwing to an active lifestyle and exercise routine\, we were able to enjoy the delicious homemade-like cuisine guilt-free. The restaurant featured a wide range of all-time popular dishes as well as an exciting seasonal selection.

Following a practice run ahead of the Tenafly 5K on the first Sunday of June\, (spoiler: Stay tuned for this event! )\, Bergen Runners brought their home-cooked food to the beautiful lakeside state park for a fun “Run-and-Grill-BBQ” gathering.  \nThe group enjoyed an afternoon of activities\, food and desserts as the participants bantered and exchanged stories and workout and diet tips.  \nThe day ended with a video recording of the runners’ signature “Race and Cheer” posture. Whether running fulfills a passion\, a need for speed or both\, it inevitably connects our body and mind.  In some instances\, it may even allow for our mind to transcend our physical limitation and achieve the unthinkable. \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/rockland-lake-park-run-fun/ LOCATION:Rockland Lake Park\, 299 Rockland Lake Rd\, Valley Cottage\, NY CATEGORIES:Social & Family Event,Theme Run ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RocklandLake.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180412T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180413T080000 DTSTAMP:20260417T010958 CREATED:20180527T124615Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T142627Z UID:1386-1523574000-1523606400@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Spring 5k Pasta Dinner / Photographer Workshop DESCRIPTION:A potluck party the night before the 5k race.

Put on our party dress\, Bergen Runners got together in Melody Music Institute to celebrate together. Many people brought in their own home-made dishes to share with friends. Few Taiwanese delicacies were specially popular thanks to Tony spent the whole afternoon to prepare. Many runners revealed their other side of talents such as singing\, ballroom dancing\, yoga moves and even head stand. Our plank king Jerry did a 9 minutes plank (PR!) and many fellow runners jumped in a row to do it altogether with him in the end. What a team and what a party! \nEvent Photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/bergen-runners-holiday-party/ LOCATION:Melody Music Institue\, Saddle Brook\, New Jersey CATEGORIES:Social & Family Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/9BE14B80-B66B-4FCE-AB0B-831B4C9DAB58-222-00000008FD3C6898_tmp.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20171202T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20171202T123000 DTSTAMP:20260417T010958 CREATED:20180601T041403Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180601T043103Z UID:2125-1512205200-1512217800@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Flying Fox Runner's Night DESCRIPTION:It’s the biggest event for the Flying Fox Runners in the end of the year.
