  • Race the Subway from Bowling Green Station to Wall Street Station in NYC. Adidas launched their latest innovation in running, Ultra Boost, in NYC with the bold claim that it was the greatest running shoe ever. With it they set us a challenge to race the NYC Subway, here's what happened...

    When I lived in Winnipeg I use to take the bus to work twice a week, and then at 5 race it home. The bus ride was between 32-34 minutes and the run (going the shortest route) was 6.2 km.
    It was always a close race, I won half the time and I saved $5 a week!
    It also gave the us driver a kick when he passed me on the last block.

    I think you can try to do it in Hong Kong, someone tried to do it but the door closed after he arrive. I think you really can "RacetheMTR"

      Yes, I've seen that one. I think that was the first attempt in another city following our London one. Would be good to give it a go if we get a chance to go to Hong Kong

      If you do go, remember to do the stairs in ho man tin station (kung tung line) ,from the platform to the exit A3 bridge with only stairs but not lift or escalutor
      People just use under 8 min so i think you can broke the record (one part is blocked by the metal door, you can ask the MTR helper if you cant find tge stairs)

    I can tell that there's a very short distance between Bowling Green and Wall Street Stations but whatever it was a great choice and I enjoyed the video! It's very cool!

      +BADriver142A Thanks, yes its a 410m sprint from station to station. We had 3 days in NYC to try an work out which stations to do this between and then film it, we had a few contenders but Bowling Green to Wall Street was our favoured one.

      +Epic Challenges Maybe you can do this on Williamsburg Bridge between Marcy Avenue and Essex street on J, M, Z trains, It may be a great choice because the trains are slow on bridges, about 10-20mph I don't know, so it might be not very hard for running fast but there's a pretty big distance.

    You need to change the title to Race the Tube-New York City. Yes, I know we don't call it a tube, but after watching the London video....I went to watch many others and surprise surprise didn't see one listed for NYC. I had to search Race the Tube New York to find yours and see that weird title, unlike the rest of the world. Some of those other places don't call it a tube but they kept it in line with the first guy's from London. Change the title and more people will find it listed with all the others. Good job though. If yours didn't exist...I was thinking of an attempt.

      @EpicChallenges  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jake, as the creators of the original 'Race The Tube' in London we thought we would keep this video in our own 'Race The...' format and name the our opponent, the subway. Please check out our other videos on our channel, we have raced a few different things

    That’s not saying much actually to those who live in New York City... The stations are 3 blocks apart. (Bowling Green and Wall Street) You can actually beat the train by walking so while I’m not that impressed. The A for effort is deserved.
