This is by far the best 5K I've run, not only do you get to run the open streets of midtown manhattan, but you also get to cross the Marathon Finish line prior to the actually Marathon. The course is extremely easy, but it's all about the experience for this race. At bib pick up you also get to experience the expo!! I would really recommend this race for first time runners.

The Queens 10K was a great overall race. This year the race was hotter then years past, staff was very aware of the warmer temps, and was visibly helping runners along the course. This year the course route was under construction so the view wasn't the best at the start. I'm looking forward to running this race again next year.

The Brooklyn Half was so much fun this year. NYRR does an amazing job with the expo and bring folks out to Brooklyn for a fun run. On race day, the staff and volunteers were super friendly and guiding all the runners to the start. Minus the race and chilly weather, this flat course is great for a first half marathon experience. Looking forward to 2019!
