They can be tricky regarding waivers and riding when it comes to minors. I know it is a liability but you literally need to get a form notarized before being able to ride. Once inside raceway park it can be tricky to navigate and know where you're going. There are no signs telling you where or what tracks to go to. (there are multiple) Track is always groomed well but it can get very muddy. With all the money this place makes all they have is porter potty's that are gross and hot inside. I really can't complain due to the fact this is the only track close to my home but they can definitely brush up on some loose ends.

Ugly Sweaters for the win!…read more 5K run for charity! Santa and boozy Kahlua hot chocolate too! The Kahlua Ugly Sweater Run was something I decided to do for charity and I raised a good amount for the One Warm Coat foundation back in December. Thanks to all my friends and fellow Yelpers who donated. You all rock. Sure, it was a chilly Saturday morning, but the lure of goofy sweaters, hot boozy drinks, Christmas music, giant holiday inflatables, and that jolly old fat man himself made it a no-brainer. Plenty of Christmas cheer, carolers along the course, monster size inflatables of candy canes/Santa/reindeer, "Best Of" contests, bouncy castle for the kids (yeah, I wanted in but would look like an idiot), fire pits, photo booth Kahlua van, giveaways, and doggies all dressed up in holiday swag. Plus, I was able to take a cool selfie with Santa-man himself. The course was well laid out as we ran along the old aircraft runways and tarmacs at the Aviator Sports Complex at Floyd Bennett Field. Plenty of helpful staff on hand. We had a beautiful sunny day to run and get our drink on. Plus, having a finisher medal handed to me for having this much fun? Totally solid. My only gripe is that they moved to this location at last minute, and it was a pain to get to. Next time they need to keep it closer to the city area such as Prospect Park, or Central Park, rather then out in no-man's land. Otherwise, the day was just perfect for a good three mile run. Compared to many of the other cities also holding this event where it was rainy and messy. NYC was blessed with an awesome day - because we rock! Ho-Ho-Ho!!!

You know I don't run. My knees and back would hate me more than they already do. But what I do…read morereally well is support those who do run. Let's face it... I just like yelling "PHILLLLLLLL" at the top of my lungs. If you don't run or if you have kiddies and/or doggies, this is the race for you! There was a bouncy castle that I threatened to jump into an launch some kids into orbit, there were puppers in cute costumes to pet, and for the adults there was spiked hot chocolate or coffee. The "Best" competition was fun. There were some truly interesting hand made sweaters. "Tinsel Tits" was robbed! Robbed I say! The location was changed this year so it was a bit out of the way. And don't trust Google Maps. You don't have to take two buses and a train. Just one bus and a train. The Aviator Sports Complex at Floyd Bennett Field, where the race was held, is pretty awesome. If you have kids and live in the area, it's great place to play in the hockey pee-wee teams. They were so tiny and cute! Unlike some of the other cities holding Ugly Sweater Runs, the weather was gorgeous. Great day, great people, great race.

I don't really like how they nickel and dime you with $5 day-of registration (especially if this center is very far off and inconvenient to pick up the day before). Definitely add extra time traveling here, if you don't travel by car, because it's in a pretty remote area. Overall, the race was exactly as I expected. It wasn't particularly challenging or crazy amounts of fun. There were 12 obstacles dispersed throughout the 5k, and many people walked (so don't worry to those who don't like running). Some of the obstacles were very lame, some of them were interesting. I definitely wouldn't do this again, but I don't entirely regret it. Don't buy this regularly; buy it on Groupon/LivingSocial!

Not a good race…read more That being said, it's not the fault of the Wipeout Run organization, but the rules of NYC. I've done a number of races at Brooklyn Aviator. They were all pretty terrible. One example is Rugged Maniac. Due to NYC regulations, RM doesn't set up the barbed wire, fire obstacles or have any legit mud pits. If you run a RM anywhere else, you will have a PHENOMENAL race. At Brooklyn Aviator? Skip it. I ran the ROC race (former name of Wipeout run) last year. Last year, we had all the obstacles. This year, under Wipeout, 3 obstacles were missing from the course: Monkey Business, Bubble Bash Swing, and Dope on a Rope. The terrain at Brooklyn Aviator is awful. They place all obstacles on an old airplane tarmac. It's 100% flat asphalt. And due to them missing three obstacles, there were only 9 scattered throughout 3.1 miles of asphalt. The majority of the time you're just running/jogging/walking through dead zones on cement. For anyone curious, it's not a challenging obstacle race. It's more for fun and wearing ridiculous outfits. No "obstacle" at the Aviator race is made to challenge your body in any way. Majority are just water slides, and glorified bouncy houses. I would be curious to see what a legit Wipeout Run looks like, but this really isn't a race I'd travel out of state to complete.

Between the amount of food they supply at the end, the t-shirt that comes with the registration and the value of the coupon for McLoone's, this race is well worth your time.

As for the race itself, it's very flat, as one would expect, and there's plenty of water stations, though not exactly at every mile, so plan accordingly.

5 stars for the potential awesomeness of this park! It's not completely open to the public yet but…read morethey occasionally open parts of it up for events and tours. I've been kayaking there (amazing!!!) and also came for one of their Discovery Days which was well organized and had very friendly staff, free bike rentals, birdwatching tours, information stands, etc. It really doesn't feel like you're still in the city--no city noises like sirens or construction, just grass and scrub around, and tons of interesting birds. The views are great since the landfill site is pretty hilly. It'll be amazing when the entire park is open. I mean, 3x the size of Central Park?! Wow. I love that they're keeping most of it as a nature preserve since NYC and its native wildlife definitely need it. Imagine going to this park and seeing deer! Even just on a birdwatching tour, we saw osprey, turkey vultures, gulls, a kingfisher, herons, and tons of other interesting birds. It isn't easy getting here, but totally worth it. NYC needs more parks and nature preserves like this!

Every time I went back to the beach he had a few tips to give me about what I could do to improve.

Beyond my experience with Alexis, i found one kiter great. When I reached out to set up my lessons, Mario emailed me promptly and suggested multiple locations, helping me choose between them. He helps you think through any questions that you may have. Overall - I was very happy with my experience and highly recommend them.
