EMPIRE'S SKATE TO THE 2026 NYC MARATHON

The New York City Running Marathon is on Sunday November 1st. After the skate community has logged some major miles at the Annual NYC Skate Marathon and 100K Race, Empire Skate's Halloween Skate to Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow, and at other events over the past season, IT'S TIME FOR THE STREET SKATERS TO WATCH THE RUNNERS DISPLAY THEIR ABILITY TO GO THE DISTANCE! TIME: 8:30 a.m. Group-Up 9:00 a.m. We Skate-Off Promptly at 9 (or we will miss lead runners) (Remember clocks "fall" back 1 hour at 2 am on Sunday) If a later start works better for you, join us on west side of First Avenue somewhere between 116th and 118th Streets around 10:00 a.m. MEET-UP LOCATION: DANTE PARK 63rd Street and Broadway (The Empire Hotel and Starbucks are on the south side of the park and Lincoln Center is on the west side of the park across Columbus Avenue) THE SKATE: We will begin with a skate to the upper east side of Manhattan (116th Street and First Avenue) where we will watch the elite runners up close just before they take the Willis Avenue Bridge to the Bronx. Because the start times of the elite groups are earlier than prior years, we are skating off earlier so that we will reach our first viewing spot (Mile 19) before 10:15 am when we estimate that the elite women will arrive. The elite men should be about 15 to 20 minutes behind them. We should be able to get a second look at the elite men just after they re-enter Manhattan by skating across 116th Street to Fifth Avenue. There are small crowds on these sections of the course, and it is quite a thrill to view the best runners up close. Once the elite groups have passed, you can join us for additional miles as we explore the block parties and street musicians in upper Manhattan and the Bronx. On our way back to Manhattan, we will stop at the Bronx Brewery in the Port Morris section of the Bronx and then thru Randalls Island. You will have a chance to see the slower runners as we cross 1st Ave and head up to 5th Ave. We will see the mass of runners again on 5th Avenue. At this point, you have the option to end or join us as we skate with the runners thru Central Park, it is an amazing thrill. The skate route will cover 13 to 15 miles casual miles. Members of the NYC Rollerbladers may help you to locate the group if you reach out and ask for them to post the group's location. THERE is FREE NYC Marathon APP that you can download to your device for detailed information about the marathon route, tracking the runners, entertainment etc. Please watch the NYC Rollerbladers WhatsApp group discussions (Announcements and General) for event updates If you want more info, contact Jim on WhatsApp or Instagram.

NYC Marathon Cheer Zone

Let us go out and. cheer our members and everyone else who is running in the NYC Marathon. I will start the cheering in LIC at Gantry Bar and move from there to Manhattan. People usually cheer all around the city so if you are cheering anywhere else we can also meet up at the end. People are welcome to cheer at any other spot along the way. I will pick a bar where we can all meet after close to the race. Most bars in the Upper West Side are usually packed to the brim for the race so hopefully we can find one that is not. I will set up a WhatsApp chat to coordinate cheering and meeting points once we get close to the event. If you are running also RSVP and let us know your BIB number. I will be out in LIC cheering the head of the pack around 9am.

Hiking the length of Manhattan from the North to South - 20 mile walk

Let's walk or I guess "hike" the entire length of Manhattan from North to South. We will meet at the at 0900 at Mon Amour Coffee and Wine in Kingsbridge in The Bronx and walk all the way down to Staten Island ferry. We did this last year and it was such a blast so why not do it again! It is the day before the NYC marathon so perfect time do our own marathon at a slow poke pace. We will make stops for breakfast, lunch, beer or wine and dinner along the way. You can join in and out over the day but it is better if you come for the whole thing. Schedule that I am going to post is a rough one and we might be there earlier or later depending on our walking speed, etc. I will set up a WhatsApp chat the day before with live location if people want to catch up to us by subway or Citi bike. I picked a coffee shop in Kingsbridge so we could walk down to Marble Hill and start from the north border of Manhattan. Kingsbridge used to be an actual bridge that separated The Bronx from Manhattan until the Harlem River was landfilled and now it is just the neighborhood where the northern end of the bridge used to lie. The River itself was too shallow and narrow for boats so a canal was dug out on the southern end of Marble Hill turning Marble Hill briefly into an island until the river was landfilled on the north side. Marble Hill then became attached to The Bronx and became a Manhattan enclave in The Bronx. We will meet at Mon Amour Coffee and Wine at 0900 and start our walk, saunter or hike from there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/WTaRNkEZtiZUhtM77 **Rough schedule:** 9h00 Mon Amour Coffe and Wine next to the 238th St Station in The Bronx 9h45 Stop at Inwood Farms for brunch 11h00 Leave Inwood Farm 11h30 The Cloisters 14h00 Central Park North and Adam Clayton Powell 16h00 Playa Betty's for late lunch or early dinner 17h30 Leave Playa Betty's 19h30 Stop at Brass Monkey for drinks 20h30 Leave Brass Monkey 21h30 Arrive at the Staten Island Ferry 22h00 Dinner at Hey Thai on John St This is roughly a 20 mile walk. Bring a water bottle. Restaurants we stop at and bars will be happy to refill your bottle for you. Bring comfortable shoes. If you want bring two pairs of shoes and socks. Some people find it easier on their feet to switch shoes and socks halfway through. If we end up with a big crowd I would prefer to give priority to those who can commit to doing the whole thing. Last year we finished with 5 out of 20 while a group did the same thing and everyone in their group finished. Commitment would be awesome!!!
