When waiting for free tickets to Shakespeare in the park , make sure there are less than 400 people in front of you. Otherwise, you will be disappointed unless you enjoy queuing.
If you run from 86th st to 102nd & cross at the 96th street overpass forming a figure 8 your distance is 5km for each lap.
Great walking and running path in the park
