All crust, no car: 5 Boro Pizza Challenge returns
Pizza-loving urban navigators will face off on Sept. 28 at the fourth annual 5 Boro Pizza Challenge, a race that tests two vital New York City skillsets — getting around without a car and eating lots of pizza.
Individual or team competitors can use any combination of public transportation and non-motorized vehicles, like bicycles, scooters or their own two feet, to make it to five to-be-announced slice shops in all five boroughs then back across the finish line.
The challenge is a fundraiser for Transportation Alternatives, an organization that works to “reclaim New York City’s streets from the automobile” and advocates for upgrades to bike infrastructure and public transportation.
