About the Event
The Queensboro Bridge Marathon is an unofficial, marathon organized by some runners local to Long Island City. The course consists of 10 full laps of the Queensboro Bridge (pedestrian path) starting from the Queens side, plus a small additional amount I trust individuals to be able to figure out to reach the full marathon distance of 26.2 miles.
Update as of Jan 29:
We are on for tomorrow as expected even in the cold. Given the temperatures though I will be recommending individuals run as a relay and even accept multiple activities combined as a relay submission.
After the racing we will be migrating to a local bar for some warmth, burgers, and brews so if you want to hang out grab one of us setup at the table for information.
I will have a table setup that you can leave bags if you so wish, although I think I'm alright we cannot guarantee total safety and security of your items.
I am also going to be collecting donations for the local Hunters Point Parks Conservancy since they are our local greenspace that many local LIC Runners use regularly. Stop by the table at the base of the bridge for info.
