Starting Point: Time Warner Building

Paces: 9:00 to 9:30 mm and 11:00 to 11:30 mm

Distances: 5 to 15 miles

Organizer: Brad Goz

There are 145 public monuments dedicated to historic men in the City of New York.  There are six monuments dedicated to eight women.  On Saturday morning March 29, the New York Flyers will salute these women with our Monumental Women Run, a 5 to 12 mile celebration that will visit these monuments and many more sites that highlight the contributions woman have made to our City and the world.  

The run will offer groups at 9+ and 11+ minute/mile paces.  While much of the event takes place on city streets, most of our tour runs in or next to parks to help ensure a steady run.  

To beat traffic and accommodate both 7AM and 9AM Flyer groups that run on Saturday morning, this special run will begin at 8AM.  

There’s a bit of good news in the limited New York tribute to women.  When you honor only eight women from the past 800 years, chances are they will be extraordinary and, indeed, each woman conveys a compelling story.  I fell in love with every one of them while researching this run.  I think you will as well.  Visit their monuments and share their stories on one of the most exciting runs you will ever enjoy in the world’s greatest city.
