Coming up on February 3rd, will be Chinese New Year for the Year of the Rabbit. To celebrate
this feast, the Flyers are invited to the 12th annual NY Flyers Chinese New Year Celebration on Feb. 8th, organized by Lloyd Hoo. Learn a little about the feast, the
Chinese calendar, Chinese astrology and most all, the fun you've been missing for the last 11 years if you haven't attended. This year you come too!
Scott Cohen gives some reflections on those longer-than-marathon races known as

On February 20th, the best small town race in New York City will take place in
Brooklyn, put on by the Prospect Park Track Club. You will love this race — the perfect antidote to the mid-winter blues.

a runner).
