Staten Island is rich in history, culture, and natural resources. This 5.5-mile run around the ferry will bring you to: 2 of Staten Island’s 3 historic districts, state-protected wetlands, streams, ponds, hillsides, a natural planting area on the site of an old British Fort, and the magnificent campus of Snug Harbor. You might expect to see snapping turtles, deer, herons, Victorian homes, Greek Revival stoneworks, the 2nd oldest music hall in the US, and views of NY Harbor.
Attendees should be prepared to run a 5.5 mile run at whatever pace is conversational and safe for all. The run will officially start from the steps of Borough Hall that face the harbor. Please dress for the weather and bring food, water, and anything else that will help you feel comfortable for the run.
