One of the things I want to do on this blog is get the word out about local road races. If you're running, you already know about the slew of races put on by NYRR, most of them in Manhattan. But I'd bet there are at least three dozen races in Brooklyn on a given year - if not more (obviously, the challenge is to keep track of them).
So, that said, for those of you who are in town during Thanksgiving, check out the annual 5-miler hosted by the Prospect Park Track Club. Race kicks off, rain or shine, at 9 a.m. near the skating rink in the southern part of the park. It's a lower loop, plus a full-loop of the park. What's best? Pies to the top runners in the various categories. All finishers get medals, and there's usually a freebie that's *not* a T-shirt.
Registration information is here. And the club is always on the lookout for volunteers if you're not up for running that day.
