NYRR Manhattan 7 Mile

New York, New York

My Manhattan 7 mile
08/17/2018

This was the first 7 mile race organized by NYRR in over a decade. I ran it because it matched with the long run I had to do for my NYC marathon training plan. It was extremely hot this Sunday morning but NYRR always does a fantastic job of providing amenities during and after the race to help you cope with the heat.

The course followed the complete outer loop of Central Park (approximately 6 miles) with one extra mile along the south end of the park. Always challenging with lots of hills ( including the ominous Harlem Hill ) , the course is always fun and I always have a great sense of accomplishment completing a race on this course. NYRR always lives up to its status as the top road racing organization in New York.
