Broadway Ultra Society 2017 Mid-Summer Special Event
(Seventh Annual)
The BUS 6-Hour Pajama Romp
 
Saturday - July 22nd, 2017 - 5pm to 11pm

The 7th running of this popular race took place on Saturday, July 22nd, back in its old venue, in Astoria Park, Queens. The weather was great until the last minutes of the race when the rains came... providing for a soggy award ceremony (with soggy pizza too), but the mood stayed positive for everyone... hopefully.
