BedStuy Flyers
Brooklyn · Bed-Stuy
The vibe
Founded in March 2017 by Tara Mardigan, a nutritionist and RRCA-certified running coach who spent a decade as the Boston Red Sox team nutritionist, BedStuy Flyers grew out of a personal habit she built after a 2016 job loss — heading to the Boys and Girls High School track in Bed-Stuy weekly to keep a routine. Inspired by Nike Run Club speed workouts and the November Project free fitness movement, she started inviting friends to 'Track Tuesdays,' and a community took root. The club runs two formats each week: structured interval workouts on Tuesday mornings at the Boys and Girls High School track, and 'Pizza Coven' Thursday morning neighborhood runs — 4-5 miles visiting a different Bed-Stuy park or playground each week, with a brief local history lesson and group photo. Co-led by RRCA-certified coach Nick Collins (who also co-founded Crown Heights Running Club), the club is completely free, NYRR-affiliated, and draws a diverse cross-section of Brooklyn residents from walkers to multi-marathon finishers.
