Adam Bartlett and an intrepid group of 9 runners decided to start off their New Year's Eve with a run of the entire 41 miles of the Old Croton Aqueduct route.
He writes:
"It was truly an epic day, made very difficult by the slippery mud conditions of a vast majority of the trail. Much of it was walked and not run by necessity !
We started with 9 in Croton. One dropped out after 8 miles due to a nagging ankle issue. Four finished the 41 miles (one super-fast brave solo adventurer and then the group of 3 of which I was a part). The remaining 4 completed the 26 mile version."
