Comment by Dave Feinstein on August 17, 2011 at 11:15pm: ey VCTC, is anyone here running the Bronx Half on Sunday, August 28th? For those who are, NYRR just posted the course map. I plugged it into mapmyrun.com and the hills seem very minor and bearable, and best of all, the last 4 miles are a gentle downhill slope. Very excited for this race. I'm away this Saturday but look forward to an easy run with the group next Saturday, the day before the half. See you guys then.

Comment by David Kornacker on June 17, 2011 at 1:36pm: New race series debuted in Riverside Park this past Wednesday, June 15. Interesting 5k road course with a couple of VCP-worthy hills. Next race is Wed June 29. See https://www.nycruns.com/index.php?option=com_dtregister&Itemid=... for details.

Comment by Dominic on April 7, 2011 at 10:36pm: A few of us will be running in the RUN for your LIFE, 5k at the Split Rock Golf course, near Pelham Bay Park.

This is where the Annual Awards Dinner was last year. This is in my family's neighborhood in case anyone's interested in seeing local sites like the Pell Mansion or City Island, or the Lombardo's hood...
