Has anyone does this race before?  What is the race course like?  I'm thinking of doing it, if life allows it...

Thanks.

hey OA -

Hope not too late - I ran this last year and will do it again.  I like it.  Lots of turns on the course and there's a big hill to climb towards the end.  But, it's a decent NYRR event.  I don't consider it a big "event" just a solid race.  Have to admit the scenery wasn't much to look at - some of the course felt like we were running through a factory parking lot.  But it's Queens.  And I'm sure there will be a good turnout.

I'm in, I just signed up today. I'm not particularly trained to race this distance right now, so I'm using it as my long training run for the week.

Sorry - after running it again this year, my opinion is WAAAAAAY different.  I forgot about all the hills leading up to the last one.  The twists and turns were too much.  NYRR blew it on some logistics issues.   Last year I ran this after being hurt, so I was just happy to make it the whole way.
