I will be running the inaugural Damon Runyon 5K Run/Walk for Cancer Research at Yankee Stadium this coming Sunday, and I just got the route we’ll be taking.

This is certainly a different sort of path, and I can’t wait to do it Sunday morning.

START LINE on the 100 level concourse, near Section 120
Run two laps around the 100 level concourse
After second lap, near Section 126, turn left behind concessions, then take ramp to sub-zero level
Run through the sub-zero level
Exit the sub-zero level between the Bullpen and Monument Park, turn right onto warning track
Run two laps around the warning track that circles the field
Exit warning track to the right, return to sub-zero level
Run back through sub-zero level, turn left toward right field stairs
Climb 103 steps to 200 level concourse
Run the length of the 200 level concourse toward left field stairs (near Section 234)
Climb 64 steps to 300 level concourse
Run the length of the 300 level concourse (Water stop located in front of Jim Beam Suite near Section 320)
At Section 310, turn right down ramp near Gate 6, then take ramp down to the Great Hall
Run short distance through Great Hall (please stay to your right)
Turn right up the Great Hall stairs to 200 level concourse
Climb 55 steps to 200 level concourse
Run the length of the 200 level concourse toward left field stairs (near Section 234)
Climb 64 steps to 300 level concourse
Run the length of the 300 level concourse (Water stop located in front of Jim Beam Suite near Section 320)
At Section 310, turn right down ramp near Gate 6, then take ramp down to the Great Hall
Run short distance through to FINISH LINE in Great Hall (please stay to your left)

These will be some great views, but all those steps! I’d better take some Advil before the race.
