Route Description
This is figure 8 route which stays on the ground-level roads of the lower and middle Central Park loops. It avoids the upper loop (and thus Harlem Hill), giving this route a rolling profile with no substantial climbs.
The lower ground-level loop includes a sprint section, making this route ideal for events which include sprint efforts.
