5th Annual "A Run Down Hero Highway"

Sunday, November 20, 2011

(This is a ticketed event. See below for details)

The Event

"A Run Down Hero Highway" is a fun-filled patriotic event that pays tribute to a local hero while raising funds for the families of Army Rangers who have been killed, disabled, or are currently serving in harm's way. People of all ages come together for a spirited run/walk/stroll along West Street in Manhattan and revel in a day filled with moving tributes, live entertainment, amazing camraderie and great food and drink.

Event commences on Pier 46 (cross Charles St and West St). Entrants participate in a 4.5 mile round trip run/walk to Battery Park, past Ground Zero, with a constant view of Lady Liberty. The festivities continue with a brunch and after-party at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. Last year over 1,000 people joined us. We can't wait to commemorate and celebrate with you this year!
