LONG ISLAND fitness

This is just for long islanders....
Idk... i find LI pretty boring but the lax is awesome here.

I want to run a marathn(probably a half marathon) or go on the bike ride that goes all the way out to montauk... but im only 15 and cant find any marathons that will accept me and cant find any info on the biking thing. Any help?

If you do a marathon or a race watch yourself you could lose eligibility. Like what happened to that wrestler in shoream(if you heard about that). But i could be completely wrong about that it might only be if you take prize money or something.

Yea, when racing you just can not accept any prize money that you win or will lose eligibilty for sports I believe. I was talking to a friend who runs in college and he was telling me about winning some race but not being able to take the money or whatever.

As 15 year old you are not allowed to run a full marathon. You have to be 18 years old(except the Los Angeles Marathon). There are a few half marathon on LI that i know about(links below). I dont know how far you live from the New york City but New York Road Runners hold half marathons usually once a month.
