Regarding the SI Advance article in yesterday's AWE section;

The race is held to memorialize fallen Staten Island Police Officer, John Kelly.
And, is not necessarily 7.2 miles in length. That just happened to be last year's distance.
NYARA promotes the race as "approximately 10K". The actual distance depends on course design and is not known by participants prior to the race.
