| NYC MARATHON LONG TRAINING RUN PACE LEADER VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP Saturday, September 13th, 2008 | |||
| What is the NYC Marathon Long Training Run? | |||
| Every year, the NYRR Club organizes long training runs for runners who are training for the New York City Marathon. Every Year, the New York Flyers volunteer to be the pace leaders for the groups of runners who participate. This is a 20-Mile run (not a race) in Central Park. It involves 4 loops of different distances with a 2 minute break between each loop. Gatorade and water stops are provided throughout the course. View Full Details of the Long Training Run from the NYRR web site The Flyers need volunteers to lead the pace groups. This is a fun way to get in your long training run while also providing a valuable service to the running community and the New York Flyers. The Flyers get paid to provide these volunteers and the money raised goes to subsidize our annual awards party | |||
| What is the course for the Long Training Run? | |||
| The course involves 4 loops in the following order: One 6-mile loop of Central Park The lower 5-mile loop The lower 5-mile loop One 4 mile loop that cuts across both the 102nd street transverse and the 72nd street transverse | |||

| What if I can't run 20 Miles? | |||
