Nearly 500 runners assembled at Engineer’s Gate in Central Park to run the NYRR NYC 60K, NYRR’s longest race and only ultramarathon. This annual event began in 1978 and today took committed runners on a 1.46-mile out-and-back, followed by nine clockwise 3.98-mile loops.
 
Sebastien Baret of New York, NY, took the lead early and increased it with every circuit. His first place time of 3:55:42 meant he’d met both of his goals: “The last two times I ran this race,” he said, “I got second. This time, my goal was to win and to go under four hours.”
