Track Rage
McCarren Park Track, Williamsburg
Intervals on the track. You run your own pace, and the group waits for the last runner in.
New Yorkers trading doomscrolling for long runs, training together for 26.2 miles through five boroughs on November 7, 2027.
The manifesto
You spend hours a day on a screen. Three times a week we take one of those hours back and spend it running with other people.
Each pace has its own group, and the group waits for its last runner. First timers line up next to people chasing sub-3.
We aim our training blocks and tune-up races at Central Park on November 7, 2027. On race day the crew cheers from mile 24.

Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan side, City Hall
A loop over the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. You climb them now so mile 24 hurts less in November.
Central Park, Engineers' Gate (90th and 5th)
You build the marathon on Sundays. We split into pace groups and get coffee after, with phones in pockets.
Strava sync
Connect Strava once and we turn your runs into a marathon dashboard. You see weekly volume against target, a race-day time estimate, a year of running on one grid and your latest route drawn as a poster.
The course
You start on the Verrazzano Bridge with 50,000 runners and almost no crowd.
Eleven miles up Fourth Avenue and through Bed-Stuy and Williamsburg, with crowds on both sides.
You pass halfway in Long Island City, then climb the Queensboro Bridge with no spectators.
You come off the bridge onto First Avenue and the loudest crowd of the day. Hold your pace.
You cross in on the Willis Avenue Bridge and out on the Madison Avenue Bridge. Most runners hit the wall around here.
You climb Fifth Avenue, enter Central Park and finish at Tavern on the Green.
You have 360 days to get ready for it, and we wrote the plan already.

Bruno gets his bib for November 2027 through NYRR Team for Kids, which funds free running programs for kids and communities across the country. He has to raise $5,000 before race day, and your donation goes straight to that total.
It costs nothing and you pick the pace. Show up Sunday at 8 in a yellow shirt with nothing to scroll.
