New York City Half-Marathon 2008
27 July, 2008
The New York City Half-Marathon offers an opportunity to get into shape and raise some money for charity. So get fit, get sponsored and take on this 13.1 mile (21km) run through Manhattan.
The half-marathon is also a great opportunity to decide whether you want to do the full marathon in November. Use it as a training session, a practice-run or just enjoy the day.
The race loops through Manhattan’s magnificent Central Park, which provides a stunning backdrop for a summer’s run. Expect lots of enthusiastic bystanders to cheer you on (New Yorkers love to run and they also love to cheer) and plenty of strategic water stops along the way.
