Fancy a trip to New York?

1 November 2009


Fancy a trip to New York? While you're there, how about running 26 miles? Starting in Staten Island, you will cross the huge expanses of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn.

 

At the halfway point you'll cross into Queens and over the Queensborough Bridge into Manhattan. Running along First Avenue, you'll enter the Bronx and then onto Central Park.

We can offer you
  • A comprehensive fundraising and training pack

  • Full support with your preparations 

  • Free professional running vest

  • A meet and greet area at the Marathon expo in New York

  • An invitation to the pre-race welcome function in New York and the opportunity to meet other runners

  • The freedom to make your own travel and accommodation arrangements
