We ran the "Last 10" with some friends

On Sunday, October 25 The Prospect Park Track Club ran the last 10 miles of the NYC Marathon Course.

Our group was bigger than anyone can remember.





We got some love.................................................

Thank you for organizing the run this morning -- so glad I came along. Really enjoyed my first outing with the club, nice bunch of people, very supportive. Please pass on big thanks to the volunteers who manned the food and drink stations -- I certainly wasn't expecting cream cheese with my bagel.You guys are fancy.

........ I just wanted to say thanks to you and the PPTC for the run yesterday. Being this is my first marathon, it was a great help to run that last leg of the race. We were part of a group that took the wrong street up in the bronx, so we ended up shaving off a few blocks of the course. All in all it was great fun, and I'll see you at the next meeting.

Thank you, it was nice and useful…

How to run over the Willis Ave Bridge

On Sunday, Oct 25 the Prospect Park Track Club will be running the last 10 miles of the NYC Marathon Course. In the past runners were able to run over the Willis Ave Bridge just like Marathon Sunday (but on the sidewalk). That can not be done anymore. The sidewalk has been removed and replaced with highway ramps from the FDR in Manhattan and the Degan in The Bronx. Nobody should attempt to run on the roadway, it is like a highway.

The ramps on both sides of the bridge have been replaced with staircases. My attempt to document them is below. Please note, I took these pictures on Thursday, Oct 22. Things might change by Oct 25. A member of PPTC who walked over the bridge today will be at our aid station at 125th street on Sunday.

To cross the bridge and resume the NYC Marathon Route follow these instructions.

You must approach the bridge from the left side of First Ave. Go to the left of the bridge


Bear left when you reach the FDR
Go up the stars. They will lead to the bridge and you will cross the Harlem River

After crossing the river you will see this sign. Make a left and god down the stairs

This is the bottom of the stairs. TURN RIGHT AND GO UNDER THE BRIDGE.

AFTER GOING UNDER THE BRIDGE TURN LEFT HERE

Go over the Degan on the foot bridge

After the foot bridge cross the street and turn left. This is what you will see. This resumes the NYC Marathon Course.

reconstruction is your ressurrection

reconstruction is your ressurrection

You've run the course

Spent the chase

Circled the walls of Troy

Drag not yourself into the ashes of Oblivion through overreaching

Rest from contest, dream, awake

And phoenix that you are you will cover yourself

Again

In laurels, not ashes.
