Torch Relay
We’re kicking off the Senior Games with a 24-mile Torch Relay through Brooklyn on May 7, 2018!
The relay kicks off in Williamsburg, heads to South Brooklyn, then ends in Brownsville. Participants will run from one NYC Parks recreation center to the next, then hand off the torch to a new group of runners. Invite your friends and family to come cheer you on! There will be cheer stations at each of the seven recreation centers along the route. View a map of the Torch Relay’s Route
