The Alley Pond Striders is a running and walking club with over 250 members and serves the communities of Eastern Queens and Nassau County, NY.

Now in our 29th year, the Striders continue to actively promote the enjoyment of walking and running in Alley Pond Park.  The Alley Pond 5 Mile Challenge is one of the largest local races in the New York City area.

The only membership requirement is a desire to take in the sights of Queens' largest forested area on your own two feet.

The Bohemia Track Club, founded in 1976, is the largest and most active running club on the south shore of Suffolk County, Long Island, and offers a variety of activities to both the recreational and competitive runner. You don't have to be a competitive runner to be a member of the BTC. We welcome all runners and "joggers" of all ages and abilities. The only requirement is that you be involved with running in some aspect and want to connect with others with the same interests.

The blue and white Bohemia Track Club shirts can be seen far and wide. Many of our members can be seen in the front of the pack, others can be seen in the middle of the pack running their hearts out or just enjoy the experience. Still others are in the back huffing and puffing, laughing and wondering why they are there. Our members vary in age from the 20 somethings to the 70 somethings. Regardless, Bohemia members support each other. The important thing is that we enjoy the running experience. So, if you see one of our shirts, or our banner come say hello!
