Saturday Central Park Run

Every Saturday 09:00

Meet: Maine Monument at the Columbus Circle Entrance

Distance: 5K

Our weekly Central Park run welcomes healthcare workers of all running levels, from complete beginners to experienced runners. We adjust the session based on who joins, using run/walk intervals or conversational running, and split into pace groups when needed. No one runs alone or gets left behind. We usually cover approximately 3 miles/5K and meet for coffee afterward. Having trouble finding the meeting point or have a question before the run? Send us a direct message on Instagram at @pace.makers.runclub

Why a run club for healthcare workers?

Because our week does not look like everyone else's. Twelve-hour shifts, nights, missed lunches, and a body that has already walked ten kilometres around a ward before anyone suggests exercise.

Sessions that fit rotas

We run at times that work around early starts, late finishes and nights, and we post the schedule ahead so you can plan around your rota.

Nobody runs alone

Every session has a leader at the back of the group. If you are the slowest person there, you are exactly who we started this for.

People who get it

No explaining what a bad shift means. Some weeks the run is training, some weeks it is just half an hour of daylight and other humans.

Never run before?

Our beginner's guide is written for people on shifts: how to start with walk/run, what to wear, how to fuel around nights, and how to build up without breaking down.

Walk/run timer

Set your own intervals, for example 3 minutes running and 1 minute walking, and let the timer call every change with a beep. Works on your phone, no app needed.

Open the timer

Ready when you are

Tell us a bit about yourself and we will let you know when and where we are running next. You can add weekly emails at the end if you want them.
