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 social group that starts at MacArthur Park at 7:30. Contact: Graham Upton.
MacArthur Group: On Sundays about 7:30 AM, a group departs from MacArthur Park on Vestal Avenue in Binghamton. Meet in the parking area near the tennis courts. See the 9.97 mile route at mapmyrun.com. Contact: Ed Jenner. The start time is subject to change (The start time has also been 7:00 AM and 6:45 AM).
BU Group: Every Sunday a small 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 7:25 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. This is almost the same route as the MacArthur Group follows.
TCRC track meets are held weekly from the first week in May through the end of August.
