"NYC Bakery Run runners stuffed their faces with cream-filled croissants as they sweat through the 13.1-mile course totally loaded up on carbs from eight local bakeries along the route. The race began in Bushwick at 9 a.m., across the Williamsburg Bridge into Manhattan - and then across the Manhattan Bridge and into Brooklyn Heights. Runners stopped to nosh on pastries and sandwiches from places like Raf's bakery, Cupcakes from La Bicyclette, and savory-stuffed hand pies from L'Appartement 4F."
"Workers at the bakery destinations held out sheets of luxe-looking croissants and impeccable puff pastries as runners stood with their mouths agape. Some runners also lined up inside La Cabra bakery in Bushwick, eagerly eyeing the cult-favorite buns. They shamelessly risked a cramp for some crullers and were all smiles after loading up on the carb-filled treats. Then they saddled back up and hit the pavement again with stomachs full."
"Sunday's Bakery Run was the first of its kind in NYC, TimeOut reported, and was put on by the media company TIPSTER. Simon Evers, founder of TIPSTER, said in a press release that the event came as "a new generation of bakers is redefining the city's baking culture." "The NYC BAKERY RUN celebrates their craft and pairs it with running, another quintessential daily ritual for many New Yorkers, and the interest is overwhelming," Evers said, according to TimeOut."
About 100 runners filled Manhattan and Brooklyn streets for a 13.1-mile NYC Bakery Run that included food stops at eight local bakeries. The race started in Bushwick at 9 a.m., crossed the Williamsburg Bridge into Manhattan and the Manhattan Bridge back into Brooklyn Heights. Runners stopped to eat cream-filled croissants, puff pastries, crullers, cult-favorite buns, savory hand pies and other carb-heavy treats from establishments such as Raf's, La Bicyclette, L'Appartement 4F and La Cabra. The event ran in three waves for advanced, intermediate and beginner levels. A similar Bun Run has previously been held in Copenhagen.
