BAGGAGE
Runners must check their baggage at least 30 minutes prior to the start of their heat at Northern Playground (94th Street).
Upon completing your race, runners will walk forward to 75th Street, loop around the median of 34th Avenue, and walk back in the direction of Travers Park, your bag will be set in numerical order, and ready for pick up and join our festivities at Travers Park.
If you prefer to leave your bag directly at Travers Park, we ask that you do so at least 30 minutes prior to the start of your heat. You could use this as an opportunity to warm up to 94th Street.
BIB PICKUP
Friday 8/27 - 6pm to 8pm at Travers Park. 78th Street and 34th Avenue
COURSE
Runners will run south down 94th Street, and make the only right turn of the entire race, accessing the south road of 34th Avenue. There is a slight incline passing 82nd Street, but what goes up, must come down. Whether you go out hard or “sit and kick”, each and every runner has a steep downhill for nearly the entire final 400 meters.
