Century Road Club Annual Turkey Bike Race

It may not be the Tour de France, but Central Park's annual cycling road race returns on Nov. 13. The winner gets a frozen turkey.

Prizes are Turkeys. Real (frozen) Turkeys..........and proceeds support the CRC Development Foundation and the Central Park Conservancy, and this race is generously sponsored by Lucarelli & Castaldi, LLP

The race is broken down into age and ability levels. The men's 1/2/3 race — the most elite — will be nine laps around Central Park — about 54 miles — starting at 7 a.m. The men's 3/4 takes off two minutes later, the women's open two minutes after that, and so on.
