10M for the full 2-lap Nite Owl, less for Lite Owl. This used to be a fast run, but I'm not fast. It's a "fun" run at a time when the neighborhood has a very different vibe than the day time. And a good chance to get sum hillz to strinf up for your next 'Thon.

THE FACTS:

  • The NITE OWL™ run is considered to be the greatest run that has ever happened in the tri-state area.

  • The origin of starting at 9:10 has been lost to time but it is rumored to have started with the knights of templar. Do some research, Dan Brown!

  • The route is the same every week: two laps of the Williamsburg bridge, but some people just come by for one lap and some have been so bold as to do three.

  • While mostly NBR members attend, members of other teams have been known to join. We encourage this—do stop by. We only ask that you earmuff when we discuss strategy (which is usually just to try and run faster).

THE ROUTE:

  • Starts with one mile around the track

  • South down Driggs

  • Over the Williamsburg bridge and back

  • Exit bridge right at Bedford and down S 6th to Kent and back up S 5th

  • Then over the bridge and back again

  • Back up Driggs

  • Ends at the track with hand slaps

  • Bonus mile cool down around the track, for an even 10 miles

  • Followed by core for the hard core
