Get ready for the 8th Annual Bridge and a Slice Half Marathon on October 19th! We go from Astoria, over the Queensboro, around Central Park, eat a slice of pizza, then back, for a half marathon distance. You can use whatever mode of transportation you want (run, bike, roller blade, unicycle – would honestly love for someone to do this, etc), or can mix it up (i.e. bike half, run half). The hope is just to get community together to move.

Announcing the “Officially Unofficial 8th Annual Bridge And A Slice Half Marathon.” Come get a slice of the pie… the pizza pie, that is! Join us for a half-marathon distance and slice of delicious New York City pizza in this running, biking or walking event, whichever your pizza-eating heart desires. Yes, you read that right. This is a half-marathon that you can use any method of movement you would like. Run, bike, walk, skateboard, roller blade, roller skate, pogo stick, segway, hover board, or a mixture of it all. Go at your own pace and enjoy the journey!
We will start in Astoria, Queens, cross the majestic Queensboro Bridge, saunter around the main drive of Central Park, refuel with a free slice of ‘za at mile 11, and jaunt along the new East River Esplanade with its amazing views of said majestic Queensboro Bridge, all before crossing back over and finishing strong in Queens. Waiting for you at the finish line will be some snacks and beverages, and a continuation of the good time you just had while moving for 13.1 miles. The unofficial and non-competitive nature of this half-marathon makes it ideal for first time runners… it’s what we may call a “Fun Run,” if you will. Friends, families, and runners/movers of all fitness levels are welcome. Map and further details will be provided upon purchasing your ticket.
