It was a great run l, you must be in shape to run this it is not easy at all. To compete you will have to put some training a month in advance.

I love this race! I don't know of another one that goes through Rio Vista, and it's a beautiful route. Always organized - never any problems. Plenty of water, support, etc.
Champagne Brunch and food afterwards was great too.

"Ran this in 2013 and 2014. Last year, I followed it with the NYCM the following week.

Fairly standard NYRR race -- typical packet pick-up/ race start/ corral set-up/ run through Central Park.

The difference is the vibe. Given the ""kick-off"" to marathon week, all of the runners are pretty excited.
