Upper West Side Run Club 2.62 Mile NYC Marathon Shakeout

The Upper West Side Run Club sends off its more than 200 marathoners with a 2.62-mile shakeout from the Obelisk in Central Park, across the East Drive from the Met. Pace groups run between 8 and 11 minutes per mile, with a run-walk group as well. The route finishes at Sote Coffee Roasters on the Upper West Side. Marathoners, cheerers and runners of every level are welcome. The Obelisk is also where the club's cheer zone stands on race day.
