GoldFinger Track Club
GoldFinger Track Club started in March 2016 when founder Jerry and his crew pulled off an upset relay race victory in Brooklyn that no one saw coming. Word spread fast, and a real running community crystallized around that moment. What began as an unexpected win evolved into a crew of athletes from different countries, different speeds, and different backgrounds, all bound by shared commitment and grind. GoldFinger operates on its own terms, with members scattered across time zones but united when it matters most. Every Thursday at 6:30 p.m., the crew gathers at Nacho Macho Taco in Brooklyn for a relaxed, no-pressure hangout that keeps the community anchored. No mandatory runs between those gatherings, just real dedication when races and events come around.

Little known facts about the trails of Forest Park:
The Wisconsinian glaciation molded this land between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago and left the Harbor Hill Moraine, a series of small hills known as “knob and kettle” terrain, including Forest Park. Which means the trails are naturally carved, not manmade like most nyc parks. Come explore and experience the beautiful 100 year old pine grove and longest continuous oak forest in Queens!
This race is dedicated to Pinky the Pacer, the lil white and brown dog with the pink nose who completed several thousand miles of trail running through the woods of Forest Park in Queens. Legends never die.
