#bridgeathon2021

I’m so proud of my athlete, @runforchinatown for completing the #BRIDGEATHON2021 challenge of running a marathon (26.2 miles) ✅ Looping the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges seven times ✅ Crossing over 14 bridges ✅ Climbing over 1,600 feet ✅ Dodging three feet long icicles falling from the bridges ✅ Running 11 seconds faster than his predicted average pace ✅ Finishing healthy and injury free and ✅✅✅✅✅✅ Continuing to remind all of us that we need to shop, eat, and drink Chinatown small businesses and stop anti-Asian hate crimes. This is not about the Asian community versus another community. This is about EVERYBODY VERSUS RACISM. 👉 Sign up to volunteer as a chaperone for our elders at @protectchinatown #everybodyvsracism #stopasianhate #hateisavirus #supportchinatown #bridgeathon2021 #nycmarathon #lunarnewyear2021 #chinatownnyc #runforchinatown Photos and videos by @arunninglifetc @darshenanigans @i3klyngirl @mikesaes @nochevalle @runtowards @s_wangin (at Chinatown) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLk4nrBHGT1/?igshid=15epk2d2bc2vb

Saturdays. When one can go for a run to build a base for maybe a 26.2 in the Fall. The happy surprises when friends magically appear heading in the opposite direction. To be able to express solidarity and camaraderie because that is community. Much admiration and congratulations to @misturlee @runcoachkai @runforchinatown on the #Bridgeathon2021 : 26.2 miles of looping the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges on their indefatigable mission to bring support to a Chinatown hard hit by this pandemic and call attention to the virulent anti-Asian violence taking place from East to West Coast. 🙌🙏 A fleeting hey to Ming and @horseheads were as fast as youngsters and I only managed only a quick shoutout. Since we didn't have blueberries, I thought Charlotte would not rate highly her parents friends, but apparently, I was wrong. @chicka__boo made my day with the message. 📽: @piatempongko #bulldogrunningtours #TeamRunNYC #bridgerunners #suicidehillracingclub #runforchinatown #stopasianhate #supportchinatown https://www.instagram.com/p/CLlEmWCHtnL/?igshid=1iou8s2sdsa9g

I’m grateful that my grandma is currently safe and that people are still working with me even though I’m Asian. But, the fact of the matter is anti-Asian hate crime is on the rise (up 800% in NYC alone), elderly Asians are pushed to their death, and small businesses in Chinatown are struggling to stay open. To support his community and bring awareness to these issues my athlete, @misturlee (also @runforchinatown ) is taking on the challenge of running a solo marathon through Chinatown, the Manhattan Bridge, and Brooklyn Bridge seven times (that’s 14 bridges) this Sunday, February 20th and I”ll be there with him every step of the way. Please join us for some food, shopping, and/or some miles in Chinatown this Saturday. Merchandise from @welcome.to.chinatown and participating in the @sendchinatownlove Crawl is a good place to start. We will start at 9am and finishing around 1pm at 12 Pell Street. More details to come. Together, hopefully we can bring good luck and prosperity to our community for the Lunar New Year. Let’s not push anyone down, instead let’s lift each other up.
