You can put together a good route taking in the Brooklyn, Manhattan and 59th street bridges if you bring a good map. Otherwise, a fun long run would be to run around Manhattan. I can't remember exactly how long that one is, but I want to say 22 miles or so. There are bike paths running north/south on the east and west sides, but not sure if it connects all the way north. You might have to run east/west on 125th or something. <br /><br />Van Cortlandt Park up in the Bronx is a classic XC venue and there are some good trails out there. Also some trails up in Inwood in the northwest corner of Manhattan. Catch a subway up to the George Washington Bridge and run over to New Jersey to run the trails in the Palisades. You can easily get a 20 mile north/south loop there with killer views over the Hudson. <br /><br />Also, check out the NYRR website for weekend races in Central Park. Have fun!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-63914430592480641222014-01-08T13:22:50.951-08:002014-01-08T13:22:50.951-08:00Nick, off to new York this Saturday and back in Lo...Nick, off to new York this Saturday and back in London next Thursday. Looking to run on Sunday and Wednesday. Anything else to run around other than central park? ThanksAlex Gillespiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000196245800138653noreply@blogger.com
