Virtual Run #383 NYC Summer Streets | Dyckman to Brooklyn Bridge (143 min)

The entire length of NYC Summer Streets 2026 — 13.2 miles from Dyckman Street in Inwood all the way down to the Brooklyn Bridge, on car-free Manhattan streets. Put it on the treadmill or the indoor bike and run the length of the island with me. Summer Streets is the one morning a year the city hands the pavement back to people. From 7am the route closes to traffic, and you can run, walk, or ride from the top of Manhattan to the bottom without waiting at a single light. This is the whole thing, end to end, in one continuous take. It starts at Dyckman Street and climbs onto Broadway through Washington Heights, past the high ground around 181st Street and down through Sugar Hill. Through Harlem the crowd thickens — music on the corners, kids on scooters, rest stops handing out water. The route skirts the top of Central Park and picks up the long straight run down the east side, where the avenue opens up and you can see thirty blocks ahead with nothing on it. Below Midtown it narrows into Lafayette and threads through NoHo and SoHo, and the last mile empties out at City Hall with the Brooklyn Bridge straight ahead. Two and a half hours of Manhattan with the cars turned off.
