Have you ever ran through the Lincoln Tunnel? Well I have and guess what you can as well when you…read morejoin the Lincoln Tunnel Challenge next year. This is such a worthwhile event that raises funds for some well-deserving athletes in the Special Olympics. Let me tell you my dear friends this run is not as easy as it sounds. This is a unique 5K through a tunnel that I feel someone has to experience at least once in their lifetime. The last few kilometers really burns because of the incline going back to the New Jersey side. Nevertheless with a huge amount of people participating you always are motivated to keep on going. This event is more fun to run with friends especially if you want to compete with them. At the end of the day it is, as I said for a very good cause, so no matter how you look at it, it truly is a win for everyone involved!

We ran as a family, my 8 year old thought it was amazing, my 6 year old was not really into it, but is proud of her medal. The distance was perfect for the kids, obstacles were engaging, but not too difficult for the kids, and the kids were excited to be at Belleayre, in the summer time, because it is where they ski. My one real criticism is that there was no festival feel to the event. IMHO, a half an hours worth of stuff to do after the race (dancing, face painting, limbo, whatever) would have really improved the event over all. This one minor complaint aside, Your First Mud Run is definitely worth doing.

It's fun to get your friends to rally around, and contribute to, your fund when it involves you in your underwear... in Feb. All monies raised support the Children's Tumor Foundation as they look to find a cure for NF. Not that other causes aren't great, but it's always heartwarming to know your contribution is going towards making a child's life better. As for the party, YES. Big venue at Stage 48 and it typically gets pretty full. There are three large bars, so no problem getting a drink (you need one when you first get there) and two floors to dance, post up, or take pics with friends. No one gets tooooo creepy (we did catch one dude taking butt pics and he tried to say he was an 'official photographer'... which he wasn't), so as long as you're comfy in your own skin, no one will bother you. When it's time for the actual run (that's what you're there for, remember?) EVERYONE along the race path will stop to high five and cheer you on. It's completely ridiculous, but so much fun at the same time. One of my favorite charity events of the year. Do it! Bonus: Find Phil H when you get there bc he has a flask... just don't ask where he hides it

There was a bar, merchandise you could buy, and some photo opps. Check in started at 11:30am but we didn't arrive until a little after 1:00pm. We checked our clothes, had a drink, and it was time for the race. The race started at 1:30pm. Everyone's energy was great! I loved all the different costumes. The race was about a mile and it was through the streets and over a bridge. After the race, there was a party with a DJ. Overall, I had so much fun.

I had never heard of this run before a few months ago, but I was planning to visits friends in the…read morecity in sept and was also looking for a run to do out here to kind of get used to running after flying and just out of my comfort zone (ie not on the lakefront in Milwaukee.) I'm so glad I found this run because besides being a really cool route - running thru the Brooklyn battery tunnel (sorry, I'm old and still call it that) from red hook, Brooklyn - it also was the one of the most inspiring stories I had heard about 9/11. It commemorates the route from red hook to Manhattan an off duty firefighter took from the tunnel to the site of the towers, with all his gear on, after they'd closed the tunnel to traffic. Because of that it's a little longer than a 5k (I clocked 3.68 miles). Tons of firefighters and police run the race in uniform- it's an enormous race with 30000+ people, and there's also lots of regular people too running. As you come out of the tunnel, there's firefighters and military personnel holding up pictures of people who lost their lives and also cheering everyone on and high fiving you as you run by. It was kind of amazing and even though I didn't lose anyone on 9/11 its very emotional and makes you proud to be an American. They put on a huge street fair with a ton of food - burgers hot dogs ribs pizza donuts beer...and fruit too if you were trying to be healthy. A band I guess performed too. The line to take the wall st ferry to red hook was early (7:30 am cut off or so) and huge, even by 7 am when I was in line but it was an amazing race...i highly recommend!

This year I ran the Firefighter Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers race and it was very humbling. We…read moreall retraced the steps that Firefighter Siller took from Brooklyn to the WTC during the 9/11 attacks. On 9/11/01, Firefighter Siller was off duty when he responded to a radio alert that the WTC towers had been hit. Since he was not permitted to drive through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, he strapped his gear on and went to the WTC by foot. Unfortunately, he as well as the rest of his squad (Squad 1) all perished. Thus race is in honor the memory of all of those firefighters, police and EMS who perished on that day. This race was very well organized, well sponsored and was even televised on CBS. Gary Sinise as well as his band performed and former Mayor Giuliani started the race off. This was a very nice race and is for a good cause. Highly recommended.

This Super race took place at Mountain Creek ski resort which features the largest mountain in NJ-Vernon Peak. As you would expect the terrain is very mountainous with steep inclines and deep valleys. Super races are typically 8-10 miles long and consist of 25+ obstacles such as the dunk wall, weighted bucket carry, atlas ball carry, rope climb and more. The various obstacles take place on the mountain with a 1,040' vertical peak, with a base of 440 feet and a summit elevation of 1,480 feet. Your thighs, calves...and your whole body will be feeling it. The course will not have mercy on you and neither will the weather. We ran the course as the NE was getting hit with a Nor'easter. For safety reasons they eventually shortened the course as racers were experiencing injuries and hypothermia. Luckily, my team was able to complete the course without injury. In addition to the incredible views while climbing the mountain top..your reward for completing the challenge is the ultimate feeling of accomplishment! Not to mention, you get a finisher's medal, finisher's tee, headband, free post race refreshments (protein bars, bananas, fit aid recovery drinks) and one free beer. I am looking forward to my next race #aroo!!!
