Sunday, February 10 - 8:00 a.m. • 13.1 miles
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Runners who plan to take the 4 train on Sunday should be aware that the train’s line will be split into two sections this weekend. One section will run between Woodlawn in the Bronx and 125th Street in Manhattan; the other will run between 125th Street in Manhattan and New Lots Avenue in Brooklyn. (Also: Manhattan-bound trains will skip the 138th Street station.) Riders going in either direction must transfer at 125th Street and should therefore allow an extra 15 minutes of travel time.
