The First Brooklyn Marathon
How much do you love Prospect Park?
3 loops (like the Cherry Tree 10-miler). How about ... 8 loops.
You get the opportunity for the inaugural Brooklyn Marathon, to be held in November. Details are here
I LOVE Prospect Park, don't get me wrong, but I'm pretty sure running 26+ miles around PP would make me blow my brains out.
That being said, I will TOTALLY cheer on you f'ing crazies that choose to take on the challenge.
And if this takes us one step closer to a full marathon throughout the country's most diverse city (and by that, I mean Brooklyn), than rock on with your collective bad selves.

I believe this qualifies as the very first blog post about the race - thanks! Now, what do I have to do to get a link to NYCRUNS on here!
