About OPR

Ocean Parkway Runners (OPR) is an organization dedicated to encouraging individuals to pursue an active lifestyle through running, while building a sense of community among runners in South Brooklyn and engaging in charitable activities to support the community.  

 

We strive to:
 

(1) Help individuals recognize the strength they possess inside and their ability for continuous self-improvement;
 

(2) Emphasize the power of community and the sense that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts;
 

(3) Embrace the differences among us while finding strength and kinship in what we have in common; and

 

(4) Better our community while bettering ourselves, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
