GETTING TO THE START

The route closes to vehicular traffic at 7:15AM; be sure to take this into account when planning your arrival. We do not recommend driving to the Start Area.

Bike

Obviously, we’re quite partial to this option. From anywhere in Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn, the best way to get to the Start Area is by bike. The Hudson River Greenway and Broadway both lead directly to Bowling Green. For detailed directions, we recommend using Google Maps to plan your route (be sure to click the bicycle icon).

Car

If you are planning to drive, we suggest parking in Staten Island. Please see page 25 for Ferry directions.
