From Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, the course crosses the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn and takes a five-mile straight shot up Fourth Avenue through Bay Ridge and Sunset Park to the Brooklyn Academy of Music at eight miles. The course continues through the neighborhoods of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Williamsburg and Greenpoint to the Pulaski Bridge at the halfway point. Runners cross into Queens, pass Silvercup Studios, and continue over the Queensboro Bridge into Manhattan, where huge crowds cheer them up First Aveune (miles 16-20). The Willis Avenue Bridge takes runners into the Bronz from mile 20-21, and they return to Manhattan via the Madison Avenue Bridge, cruise down Fifth Avenue through Harlem and along "Museum Mile," and enter Central Park. The final miles include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park South, Columbus Circle, and the world-famous Central Park finish.
I want to send a quick thanks to everyone that responded to my last post via Google Buzz. Definitely some great advice, part of which led me to write this post. I'm going to run and finish this race and remember everything I love about New York and running.
