Race Information
The United States of America turns a year older this year, and what better way to celebrate that milestone by running at least the equivalent number of steps as the country's birthday? (OK, of course, you’ll run a lot more than that!). Governors Island was instrumental in American Independence, serving as a lookout in the New York Harbor to keep Manhattan safe. You can see its history as you run this course, passing old military outposts, bunkers, and even a Castle!
