October 15, 2022,Battery Park — Jersey City 50-milers

After exiting Hudson County and New Jersey, make use of the flat, scenic Hudson River Greenway down the west side of Manhattan to wrap around the Battery and catch a view of the East River.

You can come back on Riverside Drive once you hit 72nd Street to add a little variety on your way home.
