It’s time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival. This year’s Mid-Autumn festival is on September 10th, but we’ll be celebrating early. Join us on August 28th for a run to Manhattan’s Chinatown for dim sum at Golden Unicorn, which will be followed by a stop for mooncakes at Golden Fung Wong Bakery and possibly ice cream, mochi doughnuts, or other sweets.
We’ll be heading out from Grand Army Plaza (GAP) down Flatbush Avenue, and over the Manhattan Bridge to Golden Unicorn (located at 18 East Broadway). This run is just under 4 miles. If you’ve never had dim sum, this is the perfect time to give it a try.
Bring cash, a MetroCard, a change of dry clothes for your post-run adventures and return trip. Questions? Contact run co-leaders, Linda Chan or Jimmy Leung.
Please note that we will have two different start times:
· The run will start at GAP at 8:20AM for Slow and Steady runners (runners running 12+ min/mile or walkers)
· The run will start at GAP at 9AM for everyone else
