There wasn’t any signage and I couldn’t find anything online as to why it was closed or for how long, but wanted to give other runners the heads up in case you planned to go today.

Hoping it’s open by the weekend…

As of mid-July, the East River running path grew... by a few blocks. The segment starting at the serpentine pedestrian bridge at 54th st now goes all the way north to 73rd st. The old blockade was around 70th st for at least the past year. Those few reopened blocks look nice -- with some benches and water fountains.

Coming from the north side, there's an entrance at 81st and you can run down to 78th until you hit the temporary contruction wall. So, there's just those 5 blocks left (73-78) until it's connected all the way from 54th up to 120+.

I'm one race away from completing 9+1 and I'm on the standby list for Abbott Dash, Race to Deliver, Frosty 5K, and Ted Corbitt. I joined all four lists on June 25 (missed registration on June 8th).

I know no one can say for sure, but based on past years, what do you think my chances are of getting into at least one of them? Any guidance is appreciated!

How did you go about it lol. It’s someone I have seen a few times now, we both run at around the same time and similar paces.
