Social Run: On Saturdays at 7:30 AM, a group departs from MacArthur Park on Vestal Avenue in Binghamton. Meet in the parking area near the tennis courts. This is a social run of 40 minutes or so. The group usually goes for coffee afterwards. Contact: Sue Cain.
Serious Run: A second group has been running a 10 mile loop on Saturday mornings at 7:00 AM for many years. When training for a marathon, we often start early or add extra miles afterwards to get 15+ miles in. It's a flat course around Binghamton, West/East side. We start/finish at the parking ramp (Collier St entrance just north of Hawley) in downtown and often end up at Java Joe's for coffee with the "6 mile" group that starts at MacArthur Park at 7:30. Contact: Graham Upton.
7:00 AM Group: On Sundays about 7 AM, a group departs from MacArthur Park on Vestal Avenue in Binghamton. Meet in the parking area near the tennis courts. This run follows the same loop as the 7:30 run, and often stops to join up with the 7:30 group (see below). Contact: Ed Jenner. The start time is subject to change (was 6:45 AM).
7:30 AM Group: Every Sunday a group departs from Binghamton University ( Google map) at 7:30 AM. Meet the group at the west end of the East gym parking lot (above the track, just off Glen G. Bartle Dr.) at about 7:20-7:25 AM. The normal route is a 9.5 mile run over the Route 201 bridge, along Riverside Drive to the Washington Street bridge, then through the south side of Binghamton to BU's back gate, and then to the start.
You can often link up with someone for more than 10 miles, especially during the marathon training season.
