Sunday, January 21 • 8:30 a.m.
One of the biggest fields of the year—more than 6,000 finished last year—is drawn to the challenging hills of Manhattan's Central Park for the first half-marathon of 2007. Participants include large numbers of marathoners assessing their fitness, along with plenty of shorter-distance specialists looking to extend their range to the 13.1-mile distance. The first race of the series makes for a bracing start to the new year.
Course
All courses are subject to change. Check back here the day before the race for final confirmation.
The race will start on the East Drive at 84th Street. Runners will head north and complete 2 loops of the outer loop of the park. On the
second lap, runners will turn onto the 102nd St Transverse and finish.
