LEAP YEAR MILE RESULTS!

Congratulations to everyone who came out and tore up the track at Chelsea Piers Sports Center last Friday for our first-ever adidas Urban Run Leap Year Mile! With it being Leap Year and all, we threw in a little extra distance (hey, you’re only going to do it every four years, right?) and still saw some great times from both regular Urban Runners and newcomers.
