THE RACE
The United States of America turns 246 this year, and what better way to celebrate than by running at least 246 steps? (OK, we know you’ll run a lot more than that!). Governors Island was instrumental in American Independence, serving as lookout in the New York Harbor to keep Manhattan safe. You can see it’s history as you run our course, passing old military outposts, bunkers, and even a Castle!
VIRTUAL OPTION
You can run or walk anywhere you want, including a treadmill. You can track your miles any way you want and with any device you want. For this race, you must run your race and submit your result by December 31, 2022.
Once you've run, you'll submit your miles through our new Run This One results system which is accessible to registered runners via their dashboard. You can automatically sync via MapMyRun and Garmin Connect, or you can add runs manually of course.
Most importantly, have fun.
