A 5K Through the Botanical Garden
Bandit went to the people behind the New York Botanical Garden 5K, the race it calls the city's most beautiful.

There is a fun run that goes through the New York Botanical Garden, and Bandit Running sat down with the people who put it on. Bandit's verdict, stated flatly: the most beautiful race in the city.
New York has faster 5Ks. It does not have another one that runs under a canopy like this. Set a morning aside, go slow, look up.
