Our New York City Chapter is the latest addition to the Rolling Thunder team. Having started in September 2017, the NYC chapter serves the families of all 5 Boroughs: Brooklyn, NYC, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Currently, practices are held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens. However, as we continue to grow and gain athletes, practice locations will be rotated between Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. Not only will this accommodate many of our traveling families, but it will expose our athletes to different running environments and creates opportunities for socialization with new friends and communities.
Practices is held Sundays at 9:30am at the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Free parking can be found in the lots at the Queens Museum of Art. This location is also easily accessed via public transportation.
For further information contact our Chapter Coordinator, Coach Katherine Lowbridge at nycinfo@rtsnp.org.
USATF requires USATF registered coaches, club coaches, volunteers, club leadership (i.e. club president, treasurer, administrators, secretaries) and any other person who has authority over or contact with any athlete during practices, race events, etc. to be USATF 3-Step Safe Sport Compliant.
