Event
Details
The second race in the New York Road Runners Half-Marathon Grand Prix
(and the only race of the five that takes place on the mainland) takes
runners on a course through New York's historic Bronx borough, and
moved in 2007 to February from its traditional running in July, to
avoid the city's summertime heat and humidity. From the starting line
near the banks of the Jerome Park Reservoir (a national historic
landmark), the route runs completely around the reservoir and along the
tree-lined Mosholu Parkway, along a fast and flat course made up
entirely of paved city streets.
Along the way, runners are treated also to sights such as the Art Deco
architecture of the Grand Concourse roadway, the leafy St. James and
Fort Independence Parks and the Bedford Park neighborhood. Participants
are limited to three hours on the course, and the race finishes along
Mosholu Parkway and Goulden Avenue back at the reservoir.
Race
Weather & Climate
Late winter weather in New York (assuming the groundhog predicted six
more weeks of winter) is still quite cold, as February temperatures
average between 28°F and 41°F. Rainfall or snow may be
a factor so come prepared for inclement weather, as precipitation
averages about 2.75 inches during the month (though typically, February
is the area's driest month of the year).
Fees
$25 if registered before January 28
$30 between Jan. 29 - Feb. 9
$35 on the day of the race
