About This Club

BedStuy Flyers is a free social run club based in Bed-Stuy, meeting at Boys and Girls High School, and it was founded in 2017 with the specific goal of making running accessible and equitable. It runs twice a week, year-round, rain or shine, with a Tuesday track workout and a Thursday neighborhood run. It's built for beginners, walkers, and early risers, not for people chasing a podium.

Highlights

  • Pizza Coven Thursday runs
  • Local history lessons
  • Early morning sessions
  • Uplifting vibe: 'Fast or slow
  • We stay fly'
  • Free runs
  • NYRR recognition
  • Coached workouts

Who It Suits

This suits beginners, walkers, and people who want early morning structure without pressure to hit a pace. It works if you're okay with a 6:15 or 6:30am start and don't mind roads and track over trail. It's not built for late-night runners or anyone looking for trail miles.

What a Run With Them Is Like

Tuesday is a coached speed session on the track at Boys and Girls High School, 3 miles. Thursday is a 4-5 mile run through the neighborhood streets, starting from Marcus Garvey Blvd and Putnam Ave, with a local history lesson worked in. Pace is self-set and buddy-based, so faster and slower runners aren't locked together, and walkers are part of the group, not an afterthought.

Your First Run

Fill out the Runner Contact Form before your first run, and check the club's Instagram the night before so you know what the workout actually is. For Tuesday, enter the track from Schenectady, south of Fulton.

For Thursday, meet on the southwest corner of Marcus Garvey Blvd and Putnam Ave. It runs rain or shine, so don't wait for a perfect-weather morning to show up, and since it's self-paced with buddies and walkers are welcome, there's no version of you holding the group up.
