a leisurely 5k (3.11 mile) group performance around McCarren Park’s running track
I’ve read on marathon training websites that one can walk 5k (3.11 miles) at an “easy” pace in 62.5 minutes. I’d like to slow that down. In addition, I’d like to attempt this with a group of like-minded, non-competitive “athletes”. I want to race with people who are ready to say - “I’ll finish this 5k when I damn well feel like it, and only after I stop by the official MTAA Super Slow 5k refreshment stand for another hot dog”. That’s the race I want to run.
The MTAA Super Slow 5k is a one day race/group performance on McCaren Park’s track. Registration in the 5K is open and free to the public. It begins at noon and ends when it seems right. Refreshments will be served, folding chairs and blankets will be utilized, and the performance/race will be overly documented.
Conflux is the annual NYC festival for contemporary psychogeography where international artists, technologists, urban adventurers and the public put investigations of everyday city life into practice on the streets.
