  • Comments: The best race ever in terms of organization, course and support. It is definetely a MUST and all the marathon around the world should learn from this main event on how to organize such races. A suggestion: stay at Sleep INN hotel in Brooklyn. Very cheap, convenient and on the raceday you reach the starting area in 20mins with a taxi for 40$. No need to go through the buses, ferry, etc. proposed by the organization and you can sleep until 5am.
