8 miles 3 borough beer run🍺 🏃🏻‍♀️

We have done this event many times. The goal is to hit 6 bars within the span of 8 hours. We usually get a nice group of people to hit all the bars. It is a super fun event. We usually get a beer at place and hang out there for 30 minutes to an hour and then proceed to run to the next stop. If you don't run you can walk the entire thing or crawl if you want :) It is a super fun way to drink beer. About a mile of beer is pint in calories of beer so you run and regain those calories with a pint. We repeat this 6 times. But again you can run the whole thing! It's a great workout with beer. The plan is to meet at Gregory Coffee on Madison and 52nd St at 12:30 and start running at 12:45 from there towards the The Jeffrey Craft & Beer. Map of the course: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6JrKRLNdZYLXFfN57 Here is the schedule: 12:30 Gregory Coffee - 485 Madison Ave 12:45 Run from Gregory Coffee to the Jeffrey Craft & Beer - 0.8 miles 13h00 Arrive at Jeffrey Craft & Beer - 311 E 60th St !4h00 Leave Jeffrey Craft & Beer and run towards Fifth Hammer in LIC - 2.3 miles 14h30 Arrive at Fifth Hammer Brewing - 10-28 46th Ave, Long Island City 15H30 Leave Fifth Hammer and run towards Brouwerij Lane - 1.5 miles 15h50 Arrive at Brouwerij Lane - 78 Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn 17h00 Leave Brouwerij Lane and run towards Sprintzenhaus - 0.8 miles !7h10 Arrive at Spritzenhaus - 33 Nassau Ave 18h20 Leave Spritzenhaus and run towards Haab - 1 mile 18h35 Arrive at Haab - 202 Leonard St - Haab has beer and burritos so this is also a food stop. 19h45 Leave Haab and run towards our final destination Pine Box Rock Shop 0.8 miles 20h00 Arrive at Pine Box Rock Shop - 12 Grattan St

The Queens Way-The Possible High Line of Queens & Forest Park and Forest Hills

We would like to add some first timers who actually are serious about joining us. If you have NEVER attended an event before with this group, please send me your e-mail to my e-mail as requested below whether you are on a going list or wait list AFTER CAREFULLY READING THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS EVENT. DO NOT SEND YOUR E-MAIL TO ME THRU A MEETUP MESSAGE. See below. IF YOU HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THE GROUP, I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION AS I PLAN THE EVENT. I AM THEREFORE REQUIRING THAT YOU SEND ME AN E-MAIL AFTER CAREFULLY READING THE DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT TO [bsb2@att.net](http://bsb2@att.net/) AS SOON AS YOU RSVP, EVEN IF YOU ARE ON THE WAIT LIST, AND PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN THE BODY OF YOUR MESSAGE TO ME. THIS WILL HELP ME COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH THOSE WHO RSVP. SOMETIMES MEETUP MESSAGES DO NOT GET DELIVERED FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. IF YOU CAN'T ABIDE BY THIS SIMPLE REQUEST, YOU ARE GOING TO END UP ON THE NOT GOING LIST. If you think this request is just too much for you to bear, please let me know. I use capital letters to emphasize stuff not to shout at you! WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD SOME FIRST TIMERS. PLEASE READ WHAT I WRITE CAREFULLY. DO NOT RUSH THE RSVP PROCESS. THERE IS NO NEED TO. NO GUESTS FOR FIRST TIMERS. YOUR GUEST CAN SIGN UP AS YOU DID. I consider this a members appreciation event. We will NOT accept any monetary contributions on this one. I want to primarily reward those members who have supported this group in the recent past by attending at least one event and hopefully more with few cancellations. It helps if you are also a member of my other group called NYC Wanderers. See: [https://www.meetup.com/nyc-wanderers/?eventOrigin=your_groups](https://www.meetup.com/nyc-wanderers/?eventOrigin=your_groups) As always, the waitlist for this group does NOT operate in the conventional way. Those on the waitlist will NOT be moved automatically to the going list when a space becomes available. IF APPLICABLE, ALWAYS JOIN THE WAIT LIST WITH LOW PRIORITY WHICH IS FREE. IF THERE IS A WAITLIST, IT APPEARS MEETUP WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO JOIN MEETUP + BUT IN SMALLER LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE YOU CAN CLICK CONTINUE WITH THE FREE PLAN. There is NEVER a need to pay extra to use Meetup's High Priority wait list classification for this group. THIS IS THE ONLY THE THIRD TIME WE ARE DOING THIS PARTICULAR EVENT AND THE SECOND TIME I AM LEADING IT. In 2025, I felt this may have been the most unique event we did that year. This event will be a fun, fast paced approximately 6 mile hike. We will begin by walking through a bit of Forest Hills and Forest Hills Gardens where I will provide limited commentary. We will then get a glimpse of where the first section of The Queens Way is hopefully going to be built-IT HAS FUNDING NOW- but we will NOT walk on the abandoned railroad tracks on this first section. (The Queens Way is designed to be a linear park built on an abandoned stretch of rail tracks in Central Queens with some similarity to the High Line but it has NOT been built yet). Then it gets rather gritty as we walk towards what is another section of The Queens Way-no funding to build yet- where we will scramble up a slight incline from some abandoned railroad tracks to get into Forest Park. There we will do a relatively short hike in the Park to finish. MEETING DETAILS WILL BE SENT OUT VIA A MEETUP MESSAGE TO ALL THOSE WHO RSVP NO LATER THAN THE EVENING BEFORE THE EVENT. YOU CAN GET THERE EASILY BY SUBWAY OR THE LONG ISLAND RAILROAD. WE WILL NOT BE ENDING WHERE WE STARTED-2 SHORT SUBWAY STOPS AWAY-ABOUT A LITTLE MORE THAN A MILE- BUT WE WILL FINISH NEAR A MAJOR SUBWAY STATION AND NOT FAR FROM THE LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD. We will meet a bit BEFORE 10:15 A.M. Be ready to go. WE LEAVE ON TIME. BRING SNACKS AND WATER. THERE IS NO LUNCH BREAK. THIS GROUP NEVER STOPS TO BUY FOOD ON AN EVENT. IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, ON YOUR DESKTOP, PLEASE CLICK ON YOUR PROFILE WHICH IS ON THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SITE, THEN CLICK "SETTINGS", THEN CLICK E-MAIL UPDATES" ON THE LEFT. MAKE SURE YOUR E-MAIL UPDATES ARE ON AND WHERE IT SAYS "UPDATES ABOUT YOU”, CHECK MESSAGES BOX. THIS WILL HELP TO INSURE YOU GET MESSAGES FROM ME. I LIKE TO THINK THOSE MESSAGES ARE IMPORTANT. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR SETTINGS FOR A SPECIFIC GROUP WHICH MAY BE HELPFUL IF YOU BELONG TO MANY MEETUP GROUPS. I am going to ask that people not post any comments or questions prior to the event. You have more than enough information to do this once you get the meeting details. No offense, but I don’t need to know-and probably neither does anyone else- what you are doing that day if you can’t make it or what you think the weather will be. AFTER the event, post as many comments and photos as you like. PLEASE RESPECT MY WISHES ON THIS. We will probably finish by 1:45p.m. and not far from a major subway station. It won't be easy to leave before we finish because of the route we are taking. WE WILL NOT FINISH WHERE WE START. IT WILL BE EASY TO GET TO THE EVENT AND HOME BY SUBWAY. FOR DRIVERS, YOU CAN PARK NEAR THE BEGINNING, THE END OR IN BETWEEN LOCATIONS. SUNDAY PARKING IS FREE. If the weather forecast is really bad, I will post a notice on the day of the hike by 7:00 A.M. If there is no notice, we go. RAIN DATE WILL BE SUNDAY NOVEMBER 22.
