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:20180706T223000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180706T233000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180707T145004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181006T045623Z UID:2816-1530916200-1530919800@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Saturday Group Run DESCRIPTION:Our regular weekly group run in Saddle River County Park. \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/saturday-group-run-24/ LOCATION:Saddle River County Park\, New Jersey CATEGORIES:Group Run ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/IMG_9576.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180630T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180701T030000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180525T034035Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180525T034051Z UID:1200-1530388800-1530414000@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:New York City Triathlon DESCRIPTION:Cheer for ZY.

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. \nIn 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.) \nThe 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. \nNo 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!!! \n#fortlee5k #fitnessasacommunity #fortleerocks #bergenrunners #loverunning #littlelegs #onestepatatime #RunForFunFunToRun \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/fort-lee-5k/ LOCATION:Fort Lee Community Center\, 1355 Inwood Terrace\, Fort Lee\, New Jersey CATEGORIES:Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/img_4069.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180616T223000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180616T233000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180525T032349Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180626T131048Z UID:1194-1529188200-1529191800@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Runner’s Seminar with Jerry Yoo DESCRIPTION:Our second runner’s seminar.

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. \nOn 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.  \nDespite 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!  \nCongratulations to all on another fantastic run and Happy Father’s Day!  \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/queens-10k/ LOCATION:Corona Park\, Queens CATEGORIES:Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_3932.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180610T023000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180610T043000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 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.

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.  \nThis 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. \nAs always\, many thanks to our organizers\, volunteers\, photographers and cheerleaders.  On this day we celebrated and embraced another milestone on our running journey.  \nSee you all at the next run! \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/woodcliff-lake-run/ LOCATION:New York CATEGORIES:Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Woodcliff_Lake_Run1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180608T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180609T010000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180525T031258Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T150822Z UID:1183-1528498800-1528506000@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Woman Mini 10K DESCRIPTION:Join us for the NYRR New York Mini 10K\, a race just for women.

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. \nBergen 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 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. \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/tenafly-5k/ LOCATION:Tenafly Middle School\, 10 Sunset Ln\, Tenafly\, NJ\, 07670\, United States CATEGORIES:Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_6217.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180601T224500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180601T233000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180602T012548Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180604T225701Z UID:2259-1527893100-1527895800@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Run with Your Kids DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/bring-your-kids-to-run-3/ LOCATION:Ridgewood Duck Pond CATEGORIES:Run with Your Kids END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180601T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180602T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180525T030327Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T141014Z UID:1176-1527890400-1527937200@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Runner's Seminar with Jerry Yoo - Injury prevention for runners DESCRIPTION: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. \nToday 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. \nAfter 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. \nEvent photos \nVideos: \nIntro \n \nWarm up exercies \n \nFull video URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/runners-seminar-with-jerry-yoo-injury-prevention-for-runners/ LOCATION:Ridgewood Duck Pond CATEGORIES:Featured,Group Run,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_3175Low.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180531T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180531T113000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180522T150927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180602T160759Z UID:1139-1527759000-1527766200@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Road Runner Sports Shopping/Gear Night DESCRIPTION:Road Runner Sports hosted a private Sports Shopping/Gear night for Bergen Runners to help our runners find properly fitted running shoes. Many runners came with their whole family after a long day at work. Expert speaker\, refreshments\, 1-on-1 running analysis and individual shoe fitting were provided. Runners also enjoyed a 10%-25%(VIP) discount on any purchase at the event and were eligible to enter into a raffle. \nAfter the treadmill running analysis\, runners received a custom analysis on the best fitted running shoe type\, e.g.\, “neutral” or “stability” and cushion level. Thanks to the new 3-D Foot Scanner\, Rebecca Tang found out that she had been wearing shoes that were one size too small which had caused bruises on her toenail after the marathon relay last month! \nMany runners got a new pair of running shoes for themselves and for their family while kids enjoy food and refreshments (thanks to the friendly and attentive staff). We had a fun & educational shopping experience at the store and can’t wait to put on the new shoes for the next run! \nEvent photos \n  URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/road-runner-sports-shopping-gear-night/ LOCATION:Road Runner Sports\, 65 E Route 4 West\, Paraums\, NJ\, 07652\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_3123.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180527T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180528T000000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180522T150203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180530T085136Z UID:1136-1527462000-1527465600@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Ridgewood 10K Run DESCRIPTION:What could be a better way to spend Memorial Day at than a raving race at Fred d’Elia Ridgewood Run 2018 10K with your fellow runners? A dozen of Bergen Running Club members crashed this premier road race in Northern Jersey today and finished the run with outstanding results and personal records. \nFor a few of our elite runners\, today was their first-ever 10K race\, even though they have well advanced to further distances (such as Half Marathon) and bigger races. A whopping record of 44:49! For some of our courageous apprentices\, they finished the race at the speed that pleasantly surprised themselves. Thanks to our Team Captain and Cheerleaders\, because of you\, the race is not just an exciting episode\, but also a fond memory for a long time to come. \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/ridgewood-run/ LOCATION:Ridgewood\, NJ CATEGORIES:Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_3038Low.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180526T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180526T053000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180522T145444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T121851Z UID:1131-1527296400-1527312600@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Rockland Lake Park BBQ Run DESCRIPTION:A group of avid Bergen Running Club members needed no excuses to gather for an epic pre-summer BBQ at the scenic Rockland Start Park to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend. 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:20180525T223000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180526T113000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180527T094728Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180604T225720Z UID:1332-1527287400-1527334200@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Run with Your Kids DESCRIPTION:A cute running buddy joined us today and kids love it! \n \n  URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/bring-your-kids-to-run-2/ LOCATION:Ridgewood Duck Pond CATEGORIES:Run with Your Kids,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180525T223000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180525T233000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180522T145942Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180609T141115Z UID:1134-1527287400-1527291000@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Tenafly 5K Practice Run DESCRIPTION:Practice run for 6/3 Tenafly 5K route.

Attracted us was not the famous Graffiti street arts or the Brooklyn hipster pizza\, but the widely-celebrated 13.1 Miles half marathon course starting from Brooklyn Museum/Prospect Park to the shoreline of Coney Island.  \nA crowd of 25\,000 was fueled with excitement despite of a bit of chilly rain and the long wait time at the beginning line. Our experienced racers turned the drizzles into a full-course cooling system to play to our full advantage. Personal records were set and results well-exceeded expectations for the many of us.  \nAt the finish line by the shoreline\, a carnival-like setting awaited for the soaked racers with loads of cheering. Looking back\, the course was full of Brooklyn historical landmarks and features\, yet reasonably challenging. Can’t wait to come back here next year!  \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/brooklyn-half/ LOCATION:Brooklyn\, New York CATEGORIES:Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bergenrunners.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_1914_1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180511T230000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180512T080000 DTSTAMP:20260403T091432 CREATED:20180527T100342Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180601T052116Z UID:1344-1526079600-1526112000@www.bergenrunners.org SUMMARY:Saturday Group Run DESCRIPTION:Our weekly regular group run in Saddle River County Park.

There was something for everyone. Bergen runners were joined by other local clubs in Jersey and almost 50 athletes showed up proud and strong. \nFor our elite runners\, this was the race that knocks the door open to the 2019 Boston Marathon or sets another personal record; for others we just wanted to be there for the “pancake-flat” scenery course\, company of the fellow runners and the after-race beach party.  \nThe rain stopped right before the race and the sun shined out right after; A perfect race and party day! Big thanks go to all the volunteers for your cheers\, photographs\, and home-felt team tent full of food\, drinks and laughter.  \nMedia coverage \nEvent photos URL:https://www.bergenrunners.org/event/new-jersey-marathon/ LOCATION:Long Branch New Jersey CATEGORIES:Race END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
