The race starts at 9am and moves round the park clockwise on a challenging course. Runners compete for more than US$30,000 in total prize money. Benefits from the race go to the New York Road Runners Foundation, which tries to boost the role of running in local youngsters' lives. Started in 1972, the Mini-Marathon was named after the miniskirt, which was then in fashion. In the early days it even recruited its runners from among the Playboy Bunnies. At the inauguration, when just 78 women competed, the winners were asked to pose at a press conference by pulling up their skirts to show off their legs! From these ludicrous beginnings the event has grown into a world-class athletic competition (and by the way, it's understood that they refused). Location Central Park Cource Start on Central Park West at 61st Street (northbound), entering the park at 90th Street continuing north/clockwise on the West Drive around the top of the park, south on the East Drive around the lower end of the park to the finish at 67th Street. Hours 9 AM Admission Differing costs for NYRRC members and non-members. Contact Email: paula@nyrcc.org Phone: +1 212 423 2294 www.nyrr.org. Directions Between 5th Avenue & Central Park West.

Tribute in Light The ethereal Tribute in Light memorial was designed to help lessen the aching loss felt across the country since 9/11. It is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resiliency. The New Yankee Stadium New Yankee Stadium is the working title for a new stadium for the New York Yankees, currently under construction. It will open in 2009, replacing the third-oldest stadium in the Major Leagues. The Bronx In popular culture 'The Bronx' has often symbolized violence, decay, and urban ruin. In fact, there are guidebooks that say you must never go to the Bronx! Sheer ignorance, that is all we have to say! Interactive Bronx map
