The first thing that makes this run unique is the 6:15 night start. A little hot, but overall cool atmosphere starting later in the day. Nice not having to wake up at the butt crack of dawn to get a parking spot and start a race. The course was great, cops

What an amazing event! So well organized from start to finish. But the best part of the race is the crowd. Coming off the queensboro bridge in to Manhattan gave me the chills. I now know what professional athletes feel like when they step on the field and hear the roar

I thought the race was beautiful and extremely well run. There was tons of aid on the run course which helped a lot on the hot day. A choice of local wine or beer growlers made the awards worth aiming for!
Challenges include one rough mile or so on a bike path
