Verizon Corporate Classic 5K
2018-07-19 10:30 - 11:30
The Verizon Corporate Classic continues the tradition of hosting New Jersey’s premier corporate fitness event on a weekday summer evening in downtown Morristown. It is designed primarily as an opportunity for co-workers coming from the workplace to enjoy an evening of fun and fitness in a spirit of camaraderie with their fellow employees by participating as a member of their company’s corporate running team.

Henry Hudson Drive Run
2018-07-13 22:00 - 2018-07-14 01:30 | Henry Hudson Drive, Ross Dock Picnic Area, Fort Lee, New Jersey
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.
The 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!
This 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.

美诗人三宝娘说
来吧，和北坡谈一场
低配速的恋爱
美队长Renny说
来吧，來北坡享受一場
虐我千遍也不厭倦的愛戀
百骏美跑群说
来吧，同胞跑友
让我们同享奔驰的盛宴
我们来了
从曼哈顿，从皇后
从长岛
从哈德逊江东岸
我们来了
从蜜尔本，从爱迪生
从普林斯顿
从哈德逊江西岸
沿江上下起伏的跑道
激动得令人心跳
沿途青春茂树
为我们挥汗遮阳引路
沿途的一个个水站
是炎炎夏里的清泉
始终贴心的服务
是百骏人爱的表述
美好时光总有段落
我们依依不舍告别分手

大河东去岁月催，百骏意慕英雄会。
群豪纵马越北坡，携手放歌一场醉。

☀北坡英雄会
作者：百骏才女三宝娘
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。
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。
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。

Fort Lee PBA 5K
2018-06-17 00:30 - 13:30 | Fort Lee Community Center, 1355 Inwood Terrace, Fort Lee, New Jersey
Fort Lee is a town of ~40k people and by far better known for its diverse population and ubiquitous Korean fried chicken joints than its Chinese runners. Well this past Sunday, Bergen Runners and Fort Lee Chinese families came together and momentarily redrew the landscape of our town with ~50 out of ~300 5k runners from one of these two groups. What started as a banter among four people (who are also probably better known for their love for Korean fried chicken than running) evolved into a community effort to bring families in Fort Lee and across Bergen County together through fitness.
In the two practice runs ahead of the event, we saw the youngest members of our community outrunning the grown-ups and offering a beam of hope that we are passing the baton to a better generation. A collaborative spirit shone as our beloved Jenny volunteered to scoop up 20+ bibs and packets for our runners! (And neatly labeling each no less. We see a future in event planning for her.)
The settings of the race day brought challenges: humidity and higher temperature. But the don’t-expect-anything-less-than-1000%-positive-vibes from our runners foreshadowed another spectacular day for our crew. Our very own native son Jerry-I-can-jump-and-run-in-style and our endeared neighbor from Edgewater, aka evergreen-this-is-my-nth-win-Jing, both took home the top honor in their age group.
No celebration is complete without a hearty meal. What better way to wrap up the day than grabbing some mouthwatering dim sum at Aquarius in Fort Lee. No only was the shop owner’s hospitality second to none, so was her commitment to the community as Aquarius was one of the sponsors of the event. Thank you and go Team Joyce!!!

NYRR Queens 10K
2018-06-15 22:45 - 2018-06-16 01:30 | Corona Park, Queens
The third race in the 2018 NYRR Five-Borough Series brings runners to beautiful Flushing Meadows Corona Park for a flat, fast 10K with an early-summer date! Runners kicking off their training for the TCS New York City Marathon or any fall marathon will love this event. Flushing Meadows Corona Park is easily reached by public transportation, and it’s a great place to spend the day. All entrants will receive a souvenir and all finishers will receive a medal.
On June 16, Bergen Runners checked off one of the most popular NYRR’s five-borough races: the Queens 10K. This race brings the “9+1 qualifier” runners a step closer to qualify for the 2019 NYC Marathon as well as the highly desired NYC half marathon whose route features iconic landmarks such as the sleepless Times Square.
Despite a warmer-than-ideal temperature in the morning, cracked pavement and scant shades, our runners did not slow down. Joining force with the Misty Mountain Running Club, a sister team that frequents many New York trails and races, our runners delivered astonishing results. Our top male and female runner placed in the top 3% and 4% of their respective age group!
Congratulations to all on another fantastic run and Happy Father’s Day!

Woodcliff Lake Run Post-Race Party in Truly Sichuan
2018-06-10 02:30 - 04:30 | Truly Sichuan, 31 Chestnut Street, Ridgewood, New Jersey
After the Woodcliff Lake 5K/10K, Bergen Runners awarded themselves with a full-course Sichuan feast at the newly opened Truly Sichuan in Ridgewood.
Owing 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. This is truly one of the best and most authentic Chinese Sichuan restaurants in Bergen County and is worthy of many return visits.

Bergen Runners brought the party to the next town Woodcliff Lake on Sunday June 10th, 2018. This beautiful town offered two irresistible courses to our runners: a scenery 10K route across the lake reservoir and mixed with a few rolling hills; and a fairly flat 5K course that is partial to personal record setting.
This June weather was also perfect, and we knew we were in for a treat. Our club members continued to deliver outstanding performance, distance themselves from other competing runner and claim many age-group medals. All top 3 medals of one age-group (Female 45-49) were awarded to our winners amid thunderous cheers from other Bergen Runners.
As always, many thanks to our organizers, volunteers, photographers and cheerleaders. On this day we celebrated and embraced another milestone on our running journey.
See you all at the next run!

Woman Mini 10K
2018-06-08 23:00 - 2018-06-09 01:00 | Central Park New York
Join us for the NYRR New York Mini 10K, a race just for women. This race was made for you! It’s the world’s original women-only road race, founded in 1972 and named for the miniskirt, and it empowers women of all ages and fitness levels to be active and feel great on the run.
“Mini” stands for mini-skirt or mini marathon, it’s NYRR legendary race director Fred Lebow’s creation 45 years ago – when women weren’t encouraged to go outside to run. Today, bunch of Bergen female Runners with other 8,300 women participated on this symbolic run for both Rising New York Road Runners and 10K events. We had couple runners to volunteer as course marshals also. The temperature was warm but overall was a very pleasant morning in Central Park. All the runners received a medal and a flower, it’s the best place to be in New York City today.

Global Running Day
2018-06-05 | Virtual
Global Running Day is a worldwide celebration of running that encourages everyone to get moving. It doesn’t matter how fast you run or how far you go—what’s important is that you take part, and how you do it is up to you. Run a lap around your block, take your dog for a long walk, or call your friends for a pick-up game in the park. The important thing is that you have fun being active—and you inspire others to join you.
Bergen Runners participated in the Global Running Day and pledged to run 259 miles on this special day. We ran around the clock: some woke up at the crack of dawn and ran; others squeezed in a run over their lunch breaks; still many ran after a long day of work. As a group, we tallied an impressive total distance of 337.54 miles which is equivalent to 12.88 marathons! What an inspiring day that motivated all of us to run, regardless where and when we ran!

The celebration ended up with a lucky winner, Rachel Lu, beating four other contenders and drawing the 2018 TCS New York Marathon guaranteed entry! Congratulations Rachel!

Tenafly 5K Run
2018-06-03 00:00 - 13:00 | Tenafly Middle School, 10 Sunset Ln, Tenafly, NJ, 07670, United States
“Veni, vedi, vici “. We came, we ran, we conquered. Unhindered by the battles and triumphs in River Edge and Ridgewood, warriors from the Bergen Runners were victorious again at Sunday’s Tenafly 5K run. This event marked the third consecutive commanding victory at Bergen county township races for the group. Bergen Runner’s Tenafly regional captain Joanna mobilized a large local troop comprised of runners, cheerleaders and photographers. Assisted by non-Tenafly runners, this event was transformed into a Bergen Runners club festival. The race organizer pampered runners with fresh cut flowers, live music, Fiji water and pasta dinner donated by local restaurants. All of these perks were offered to runners at a meager registration fee which is why this race was considered one of the best value races by seasoned local race runners. Bergen Runners reciprocated the organizer’s hospitality with a wide participation and top 3 placement across different age groups. Bergen Runners’ stellar results and strong participation at the Tenafly 5K showcased our athleticism and diverse representation from townships across NJ.

Runner's Seminar with Jerry Yoo - Injury prevention for runners
2018-06-01 22:00 - 2018-06-02 11:00 | Ridgewood Duck Pond
Combining passion and science takes your running to the next level. The first and most basic rule of running is safety and injury prevention — they allow for mental and physical fitness and sustainability for years to come. After all, we are all in this for the long run, in distance and in time.
Today Dr. Jerry Yoo and Dr. Ken from Next Level Sports Physical Therapy gave the Bergen Runners and affiliated club members a valuable seminar on running forms and injury prevention. Both experienced and novice runners found the advice, tips and Q&A very helpful and educational.
After a brief warm up led by the experts, the runners continued their routine weekend distance runs. Everyone seemed to hold back a little bit today to prepare for tomorrow’s highly anticipated Tenafly 5K Race.
