| The Mini attracts some of the best runners in the world. This serves as inspiration for the New York area’s top runners, who came out in force for this year’s 38th running of the original women-only road race, held in their Central Park backyard. As an NYRR team-points event, the Mini also inspired fierce—but friendly—competition among local clubs. |
