Wall Street Run 3M
Tuesday evening, May 19th is the American Heart Association Start! Wall Street Run & Heart Walk, a 3-miler that runs through the streets of the Financial District in downtown Manhattan. Registration for the race is still open, but it is not a scored race and does not count as a qualifier for the NYC Marathon.
Correction: the walk is not scored and is not a qualifier, but the run is.

This looks like a good one. I think Ill sign up.
Do you mostly do Road Runner events? And what are typical fees to enter these races?

i think it is a scored/qualifier for the RUN…the WALK is not. or am i mistaken?

Matt, I note that the Wall Street run used a new type of chip. Perhaps a test run for future events?

I’ve noticed that they’ve been using the ChronoTrack more frequently lately. I think I remember the d-tags being used in a Pride Run last year, or perhaps the year before. I already get (irrationally) nervous about losing the ChampionChip mid-race, those d-tags make me even more nervous!
I guess the main advantage is not having to deal with chip clipping or billing for unreturned chips.
