COMMUNITY DESTINATION RUN.
It's August and NYC Marathon training is in full swing! We're excited to offer you another opportunity to join MOTIVNY and R.A.D® Running for a fully-supported, community-favorite destination run to the beach.
At each checkpoint, R.A.D® will be providing the opportunity to try their long-distance super trainer: the R.A.D® UFO, giving you the chance to experience state-of-the-art PEBA cushioning and smooth rocker turnover on the road.
Cadence will be offering hydration support along the way to keep you fueled and refreshed. We'll be ending at Rockaway Bazaar on Beach 97th, with fizzy electrolytes from Cadence to cheers a job well done!
Mobile Bag Check Guidelines:
Due to limited vehicle space for the mobile bag check, we ask that you pack light and leave the beach chairs, umbrellas, and coolers at home.
