Organiser's Description
3rd Annual!
The NYC STAIR SET OF DOOM ULTRA isnt your average raceits a journey through the heart of New York City, where every mile tells a story and every staircase is a challenge. Covering 33+ miles across city streets, parks, and dirt trails, this race gives you a raw, unfiltered experience of the citys most iconic spots and hidden gems. From historic bridges to winding park paths, youll get a tour of NYC like no other.
Here's what youre up against:
* 3,500+ FEET OF ELEVATION that will push your legs to the limit
* 33 MILES through neighborhoods most races never touch
* 90 STAIR SETS (some massive, some sneaky) scattered throughout the course
* 16 PARKS where the citys greenery meets your grit
* 6 BRIDGES crossing boroughs and bringing you new challenges
