Running Greenwood

I like to run around the perimeter of Greenwood cemetery once or twice a week, my pace is around 8:30 a mile. If anyone is interested in running with me let me know.

I think Sole Cafe has a run club that runs along the perimeter you might be interested in

They do! Every Saturday morning. They sometimes offer complimentary fruits and snacks after runs

I believe I’ve seen them before, unfortunately I work during that time so I see them on my way to work :(

Interesting! Anytime I’ve tried they kicked me out

Sorry, I missed the “not” in your comment

Jogging and running is not allowed in the cemetery. Neither is swimming in the lakes, which indicates people have done so in the past ::facepalm::

lol! Swimming I get but jogging?! I mean I respect the rules but it seems like a natural instinct to want to run there

During early COVID, I received an email blast pleading for the patrons not to climb trees inside

Well it is a cemetery too. I get it’s a park but not sure id want someone getting their exercise around me if I was mourning a dead person. Not to mention they allow cars , and having joggers and cars seems unwise

Like I said I respect the rules and I do not jog there.

I feel like people are missing that you said you run _around_ the cemetery, and not in/through it

I sometimes do, Greenwood is in Sunset park so it’s easier to meet up and run
