A Few FAQs

Hey, how will events be run?
Events will be run in heats seeded by time. All participants must be registered at least 20 minutes prior to the start of their event to allow organizers to seed the event.

I want to run, say, only the co-ed DMR. What time should I show up?
Well, the start time of each event will depend on the amount of heats that are needed. As soon as one event ends, the next event will begin. What we can say for sure is: You should show up at 10:30 am to watch/run the whole day! 

Did somebody say prizes? 
Still a kid, huh! Good news. Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each event. Good prizes. There will also be a raffle after all events of the meet are finished. All prizes provided by our sponsors, listed below!

How do I get to McCarren?
Take the L train to Lorimer, then walk north on Lorimer or Union for 7 blocks to track; or take the G to Nassau, and walk 1 block south on Lorimer to the track.

I have questions.

Introducing the NBR McCarren Park Track Classic TRIVIA CHALLENGE

Every day until our McCarren Park Track Meet on Saturday, March 9, we’ll post a track-related trivia question here.

NEW: Instead of the first person to answer being the winner, we will collect all correct responses and put them in a hat and draw a winner each day. This is better! And more fair!

Some days there will be two prizes, like Daily Double in Jeopardy. But you won’t know which days are double-prizers because it’s at the whim of the Trivia Masters so you’ll just have to play every day to see. Or bribe the Trivia Masters with very expensive running gear.

Anyone can participate – any team, any club, any age – but you have to be registered for the meet to claim your prize, so register today if you haven’t already!

In addition to good running stuff, prizes may or may not involve homemade baked goods crafted by NBR’s finest. Such items may or may not involve pies and/or Grandma’s recipe cookies. But this is all conjecture.

Email answers to trackmeet@northbrooklynrunners.org, and be sure to include your name. One entry per person per day. We’ll let you win three times but after that you have to stop being so smart and such a hog.

Put your thinking beanies on! We look forward to seeing you at the meet on March 9!

Track Trivia Challenge for MEET DAY, Mar. 9

I guess we can have one last question. How amazing is today’s McCarren Park Classic going to be? Scale of one to one million, one million being the most amazingest.

Email answers to trackmeet@northbrooklynrunners.org, and be sure to include your name. See you at the meet!

Donate your lightly used running equipment

We are holding a running clothing and running shoe drive for a local GED Plus Program.  Please bring your lightly used running equipment to the track meet for donation. Please do not use this as a way to get ride of your old running cloths and shoes that you have absolutely destroyed or that have gone beyond their useful life. Your donations are very much appreciated.

Please locate the GED Plus Donation Bin near the Registration Table.

We are pleased to announce The 2nd Annual McCarren Park Track Classic After Party!!

No need to head home after the meet, just head on over to Alligator Lounge where they will be ready and waiting for us with the pizza oven blazing and cold beer on tap. Bring your appetite because one of the reasons Alligator is Amazing is you get a FREE pizza ticket with every drink purchase. Pizza eating contest anyone?! I’m only half kidding.

This after event is open to anyone and everyone, so bring your friends, family, and other people that came out to support the meet that our team worked so hard to put on!
