The Experience
The Triboro Adventure Tour offers a unique half-marathon experience, weaving through three of New York City's boroughs: Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Founded in 2018, this race takes participants on an adventure across the Triborough Bridge, starting and finishing in Astoria, Queens.
What sets this race apart is its "choose your own adventure" format. Runners must navigate to five checkpoints in any order they choose, making race strategy as crucial as pace. The course offers a less-traveled route through the city, providing a distinct perspective for both locals and visitors, with significant cash awards for top finishers.
Each finisher receives a custom medal and race singlet, along with post-race pizza, beer, and a special "Thunder Punch." The race is a test against the clock, with winners announced based on their navigation and speed.
