Race was staffed with great volunteers, good refreshments at the end. Course was challenging, well marked and fair.

"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.

A run that you can enjoy with your family! Then venture around Beatrice for all the additional activities that are going on for Homestead Days!
