Episode 38: A Race Grows In Brooklyn

Listen to Episode 38

Steve is rightfully excited. The Inaugural Brooklyn Marathon. 8am. November 20. Prospect Park. It’s Official.

The New York City Marathon’s first race was 4 laps of Central Park and 127 finishers. Well, Brooklyn will just about double that. eight laps of Prospect Park and 250 entrants. (Granted, it’ll cost more than $1 but that’s inflation for you.)

After that, Julie and Joe spoke of their Central Park Conservancy 4-Miler experiences, and then about their, and Steve’s, adventures at the Van Cortlandt Track Club’s annual 2 X 2 relay at Van Cortlandt.

Brenn mentioned the upcoming Diamond League event in Monaco, and a stacked 5,000 field. He also brought us up-to-date on the Media Challenge 3.5 mile series, in Central Park.
