It is a 3.1 Mile loop that you complete 2 times. You start at the Unisphere Circle running southwest on a tree lined path, turn right after a quarter mile, continue onto a similar path, and then veer to the left and towards a large ramp. Run through the vehicle barriers (there’s enough space for runners) and over the ramp. Run onto the Ederle Circle where you’ll see the first support station with water, gel, and electrolyte drinks. Run to the left of the circle and turn left onto the center lane of the promenade. Then run for a quarter mile until you see signs to turn left. U-Turn at this point and return on the parallel road that takes you back to Ederle Circle. At the circle veer to the right and back onto the ramp. Follow the course back towards the start area on the left path of the promenade and make the left at the signs and then an immediate right at the 2nd water station. Follow the course to your right as you cross in front of the Unisphere and then take the 3rd right, follow the tree lined path north to the end where you turn right and then an immediate right again onto another tree lined path. Follow for a quarter mile, turn right at the sign and directions of the volunteer, and run towards the famous Rocket Thrower statue and your 3rd water station. Follow the signs and directions of the volunteers to run around the Rocket Thrower statue and back onto the path that returns you towards the Finish Line. This will be the completion of one loop. You cross a timing mat following the signs and guidance of volunteers and then complete the same loop 1 more time. Finally, on your final loop you follow the signs, “FINISH ONLY” keeping straight and going through the FINISH line arches. Every turn will be marked with cones and/or large yard signs with arrows. There will be volunteers along the course providing you with directions.
