2011 Gypsy Run


It's coming soon. Can't wait. Does NYC have anything special going on for 9-11 this year? I'd sure like to hit any kind of ceremony or anything else to show some respect since we'll be out there and done with the run that Sunday night. Hit us with some comments if you know of anything. Brooklyn Invitational the next weekend too, so it's gonna be a good September in the Big Apple. Join the GR Facebook event page here and find out more details on the official GR site here.

Yes, this year there should be a major ceremony. The first tower is nearing completion. I'm a city employee and will look into it and get back at you.

i work in lower manhattan for the federales and i can tell you that ground zero and surrounding area is gonna be shut down tight on the actual day of 9/11. the memorial service and related events at the ground zero site are for families only. both pres bush and obama and ny/nj govs and mayor bloomberg will all be on hand so its gonna be ridiculous down here w/ security. as far as events in the city to commemorate the 10th anniv - there's a ton going on, i'll email u back as it gets closer with some ideas that would be cool to check out. i met you guys at last years g.r. and read the blog all the time and have bought biltwell swag in the past. biltwell rules, keep up the good work, johnny

Thanks Jon & Johnny, I look forward to hearing some details from you. I figured it would be a crazy year, so I was hoping for some inside scoop from a local on this one.
