What's more apropos when training for the NYC Marathon than to run 17 miles and end literally at Mile 17 of the NYC Marathon course

Mile 17 Restaurant is really located at Mile 17 of the NYC Marathon course. We'll start at our usual group run meet up location at Grand Army Plaza. I've created a 17-mile route to Mile 17, where we'll finish our run and have brunch.

A section of the restaurant will be reserved for us. The only request that Mile 17 has is that we actually order food/drinks and not simply sit there and drink water (Mile 17 has been burned by other running clubs doing this, so let's be good guests). 

If you're not interested in running all 17 miles, you can cut out sections of the route and meet us at Mile 17, or if you're not up for running, meet us directly at Mile 17. I anticipate that I will arrive at Mile 17 before 11 am.
