As is tradition, we will have our post race BBQ as well, so bring your appetite. This year were planning on doing something a bit more challenging to make it more exciting and memorable: This year, your final lap of the run will be around the big loop completing all 3.3 miles, with a total of 140ft elevation gain. Get ready, because the hill to the Grand Army Plaza is no joke!

With little gain in elevation youll head around Prospect Park Lake where you will pick up speed as you head in for the bike.
The bike route consists of 3 loops totaling 10 miles around Prospect Park Drive. As athletes make their way up to the Grand Army Plaza you will encounter the full PP hill on the front end and a HUGE downhill on the back of each loop.
