Anyone know of any group runs in central park early friday mornings (like 5:30-6 AM) that one can just jump in on?  In NYC on business and would love to run the 6-mile central park loop but would rather not do so solo.  Thanks!

Cant help you specifically but I will tell you'd have nothing to worry about as you won't be alone at that time of the morning. If it' s getting lost you're worried about, this should help:

Get out there. I'm sure you'll be happy you did. I don't get there anymore and I really miss it.

that's good to know.  More worried about running solo than getting lost.  Thanks.

I don't know of any casual groups, but you can look into some of the local tri clubs (Terrier Tri, Asphalt Green) and see if there is any way to join just one time. There is also a place called the Running Center that might have group runs.

I've been up in CP at 5:30 and 6 before when it's just getting light outside, but have always been with at least one or two other people. It's a nice run that early since there is hardly anyone there. Depending on your running pace, you might just be able to find a running partner so you're not on your own.
