The New York City Subway system is comprised of 245 miles of route track between its 472 stations. How many weeks will it take you to run or walk that distance? We'll give you as many as 15, and you have the entire summer to get it done, starting Memorial Day. If you are registering after Memorial Day, you may use miles run since then.
This challenge should provide you an excellent test of fitness and an opportunity to plan and push your training a bit as well no matter how many miles you run weekly. A little over 2 miles a day on average is all it takes! Hopefully, racing returns by the time you are done and you are in the best shape of your life - NY Strong!
You get to help out a bit here too as a portion of the proceeds and 100% of donations (minus credit card processing fees) will be going to the The Robin Hood Relief Fund, an established non-profit with a long history in service of NYC. Robin Hood will deploy your support to vulnerable New Yorkers and the organizations on the front lines that serve them during the COVID-19 crisis and its aftermath.
