Introduction
To fill a need, have created this blog to provide useful information about running in Brooklyn, New York. Events/results/routes -- all things Brooklyn. This isn't meant to be a running log (I have a hard enough time keeping a regular mileage chart) - merely a source of information for the thousands of runners who call Brooklyn home. Comments, suggestions, thoughts are welcome - just send me an e-mail (brooklynrunning@gmail.com) or post on the blog.
