About
The free youth event that opens NYC Marathon week, for ages 2–18 of all abilities.
It is the marathon's own kids' day, free, a week before the adults take over the city, and it is pitched at every ability rather than the fast ones. If you have children and want them to catch what marathon week feels like, this is the way in.
