A stampede of stomping strides entered Eastern Parkway last weekend.
On the crisp morning of Saturday, Aug. 23, over 500 participants laced up their sneakers and conquered the course for the second and final New York Road Runners (NYRR) Start Line Series run, a series of accessible runs that encourages aspiring athletes to run their first miles.
As a joint initiative with New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT)’s Summer Streets program, NYRR aimed to introduce New Yorkers to a cardio-intensive sport that has positively impacted the lives of thousands of running enthusiasts. The nonprofit running organization’s inaugural series coincided with the celebration of New York City’s 400 th anniversary, which welcomed more than 400 car-free blocks to city locals.
