5K: Runners will immediately have to face the .3 mile ascent towards Henry Hudson Drive from the beginning of the race, but rewarded at the top with water and cheering fans! After looping around the circle, proceed north towards the Englewood Picnic Area and Boat Basin. Runners will then turn south onto the ShoreTrail right before the Snack Shack, back towards Ross Dock Picnic Area, welcomed by family and friends to the finish line!
