About this Event
Announcing the "Officially Unofficial Fifth Semi-Annual Bridge & A Slice Half Marathon." Come get a slice of the pie, the pizza pie, that is! Join us for a half-marathon distance and slice of delicious New York City pizza in this running, biking or walking event--whichever your pizza-eating heart desires. Yes, you read that right. This is a half marathon that you can use any method of movement you would like. Run, bike, walk, skateboard, roller blade, roller skate, pogo stick, segway, hover board, or a mixture of it all. Go at your own pace and enjoy the journey!
We will start in Astoria, Queens, cross the majestic Queensboro Bridge, saunter around the perimeter of Central Park, and refuel with a free slice of 'za at John and Tony's Pizzeria at mile 11 before finishing strong back in Queens. Waiting for you at the finish line will be some snacks and beverages, cake and a continuation of the good time you just had while exercising for 13.1 miles. The unofficial and non-competitive nature of this Half Marathon makes it ideal for first time runners... it's what we may call a "Fun Run," if you will. Friends, families, and runners of all fitness levels are welcome. Map and further details will be provided upon purchasing your ticket. The first three lucky runners/bikers/walkers enter for free, so snag them while they're hot!
