inSHAPE Fitness Presents Its 9th Annual Alexander Hamilton Fun Run
This Scenic 11-mile Run Will Once Again Celebrate the Life and Times of Alexander Hamilton.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) July 10, 2012 - On Wednesday July 11, 2012 at 5:00am, inSHAPE Fitness Owner and Head Trainer, Kim Watkins will lead a group of runners on an historic 11-mile route up the middle of Manhattan, from near the southern tip into the northern heights. The run, named after Alexander Hamilton - the architect of the U.S. financial system, comes just seven days after the celebration of Independence Day, and marks the anniversary of the legendary 1804 duel between Hamilton and Aaron Burr, our nation's third Vice President.
Although Hamilton would lose the duel and die the following day, his accomplishments in economic and political theory would live on, as would his memorials in New York City - many of which the fun run route incorporates.
The run will begin at Alexander Hamilton's gravesite at Trinity Church on Wall Street, and continue past a number of notable sites, including Federal Hall, Nassau Street, Tribeca and Central Park. As runners pass the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art, they will stop briefly to pay tribute to the Alexander Hamilton statue before continuing on to the Hamilton Grange National Memorial near City College. Here, the run will conclude at the location of Hamilton's new "country" home at West 141st Street and Convent Avenue.
For nine years, Kim has hosted this memorial run along this distinctive route, and in 2004 was introduced to members of the Hamilton family who've come to expect her presence. "I've always enjoyed July 4th, so I wanted to do something that would continue the celebration of our Founding Fathers beyond just one day", says Watkins of her popular and highly-anticipated annual fitness event.
The Alexander Hamilton fun run is open to the public. All interested are encouraged to contact inSHAPE Fitness for more information or to sign up.
