LIFT Fitness Foundation’s VB2NYC Annual Relay is back!! This year marks our 11th Annual Relay and our third run from Virginia Beach to New York City, finishing this time in Times Square! Over Veteran’s Day weekend, our teams will cover more than 339 miles across Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and into New York City. The relay consists of 14 runners and 8 support drivers split into two teams. Each team travels with an RV and lead car, so we’ll have two runners on the road at all times. Runners rotate through five-mile segments as the teams leapfrog north, finishing with a police escort run down 7th Ave into Times Square.
