The 6th annual NYC Pizza Run is tomorrow in Tompkins Square Park



Well, you're out of luck if you want to participate in the actual run…


Anyway, if you're new to this, then here's an explanation via the Pizza Run website

Starting at 11AM, participants will run four laps around the park, counterclockwise. The total distance of the race is two miles. After lap 1, lap 2, and lap 3, there will be a “pizza station” set up where participants must stop to eat a slice of pizza before they can continue with the next lap. The first person to complete the run will be crowned the NYC Pizza Run Champion!

The annual NYC Pizza Run in Tompkins Square Park is tomorrow


[The 2013 starting line via Dave on 7th]

Runners, start your ovens! Via the EVG inbox…

The NYC Pizza Run is an annual challenge in which participants aim to complete a two mile run while stopping to eat three slices of pizza at checkpoints throughout the course. Our 2014 event will take place in the historic Tompkins Square Park on Saturday, September 13th.

In a food obsessed metropolis where people are always on the run, putting together an event which pays tribute to some of the city’s defining characteristics seemed like a no-brainer. So grab your appetite and running shoes & join us for our fifth annual run! It is open to participants of all ages.

Please note that a portion of the proceeds from the race benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

Prepping for the NYC Pizza Run in Tompkins Square Park



Oh. The NYC Pizza Run starts this morning at 11 in Tompkins Square Park.



From the website!

What does participating entail?

Participants will run four laps around the park, counterclockwise. The total distance of the race is 2.25 miles. After lap 1, lap 2, and lap 3, there will be a “pizza station” set up where participants must stop to eat a slice of pizza before they can continue with the next lap. The first person to complete the run will be crowned the NYC Pizza Run Champion!

It costs $50 to enter, which includes an official race bib, the pizza and drinks afterwards at Common Ground. Also! "A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF)." And the slices come via Pizza by Cer té – "Manhattan’s first green pizzeria."

Dave on 7th, who took these photos, wonders if the participants will be running by the folks waiting in line for a free meal this morning...
