This was more of a run than an actual race. It wasn't really structured as a race but the premise is pretty cool. 33 miles of running around an ever changing landscape of neighborhoods. There is no tagged running path but everyone gets a sheet of paper with instructions. You basically follow the running paths of NYC around parks and walking paths with the exception of two or three areas. This is a great run to do with at least another person as once everyone starts to separate you will be running solo. It's easy to get lost when transitioning between path and street if you aren't from NYC or have ever traveled to the non commercial areas of the city. All in all it was a great race and I would definitely do it again.
