Prospect Park Youth Running Club

Prospect Park Youth Running Club is a Brooklyn, New York based youth Track & Field and Cross Country team founded on the belief that athletes who gain a strong understanding of proper training methods, injury prevention, rest and recovery, and mental preparation will succeed in cross country and track & field. 

Our volunteer, highly qualified coaching staff nurtures athletes from age six through eighteen as they strive to meet their athletic goals, navigate the joys and hurdles of competition, all while experiencing the rich reward of being a part of our dynamic PPYRC family.

Our team, currently boasting a roster of nearly 150 athletes, is supported by a coaching staff of more than a dozen, along with all of our parents and families.   It takes a village, and we are a big one.  

We are a non-profit organization, affiliated with USATF and AAU.  We win a lot of championships. Our athletes go on to shine in high school and college, on the track and in the classroom.
