Ridge Runners are on the right track
Team welcomes everyone from marathoners to rookies
Felix Chen, an avid runner, was used to training by himself for marathons and other races. But he began to notice something that troubled him. “I used to run alone, but at one point, I started to plateau. I started to lose my motivation,” he said.
Chen, who lives in Bay Ridge, came up with a solution. Two summers ago, he got a group of fellow runners from the neighborhood together and formed a team called the Ridge Runners. “I felt that a community of runners would keep me in check and help me improve,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle. “Also, I thought Bay Ridge could use a running club.”
