About the Dash and Dine
The course runs a double loop through FDR Park, so you pass the finish area before you are actually done. The park setting keeps things mostly flat and open, with a water stop partway through each loop. It reads more like a neighborhood gathering than a road race, and the BBQ spread waiting at the end is a real one: grilled chicken, grilled fish, fresh vegetables.
The post-race meal is the main event here. After you finish, there is time to catch your breath with light refreshments before sitting down to eat. The BBQ is included for anyone who registered for the dine option, so it is worth knowing which registration you chose before you show up.
