RUnning
WE LOVE TO RUN! We are the Sunset Park Patriots, a hard-working running team consisting of almost all beginner runners. Established in 2011, we have runners from both M.S. 136 Charles Dewey and M.S. 821 Sunset Park Prep. Our diverse and passionate coaching team aims to create memorable and impactful experiences for our student-athletes. We run most of the youth races offered by the New York Road Runners, competitive meets, and fun and community races that have a special meaning and cause behind them. Winning is most definitely not everything, and due to our runners' hard work, we do sometimes earn individual and team accolades. Most recently in the fall of 2023, our girls won the MSAL NYC Cross Country Championships and our boys earned 2nd! For the first time ever, we had a girl qualify and participate in the 2024 New Balance Nationals Indoors! Fun fact: we have a former runner who is now a teacher and coaches his own high school running team! There are no tryouts - we accept everyone because EVERYONE can grow into a better runner and succeed at it, no matter the age, size, or gender!
