Unlike the Marathon, a race cheered in Red Hook
They jumped over puddles filled with debris and ran past food lines on West 9th Street.
On Sunday hundreds of Brooklynites joined a 10K run along the Brooklyn waterfront to raise funds for hard-hit residents of Red Hook. Organized by the South Brooklyn Running Club (SBRC), participants raised almost $7,000 and a pickup truck full of supplies for Red Hook Initiative, the organization coordinating local superstorm Sandy relief efforts.
Runners wound up the event in Cobble Hill at the popular pub 61 Local – named after Red Hook’s only bus route, the B61 — with a post-race gathering.
