@jakeheyen The coolest half marathon just happened in New York 👇
This is The Bakery Run.
17,000 people applied for this race, only 100 people were selected.
But the format is what makes it so unique.
And shoutout to Tipster, Bandit, and Salomon for putting this on.
So it’s a half marathon race and you stop at 8 bakeries along the way for free pastries.
Some of the best and most well known bakeries in New York.
My personal favorites:
- Raf’s had the best sweet pastry.
- L'Appartement 4F had the best savory pastry.
But the best part, this was different than other running events.
It didn’t have the intense race feeling.
It was more about having fun, meeting people, and eating good food.
It took the focus off the running, and I thought that was the appealing part.
People are seeking wellness and community events.
But so many are intense and intimidating.
And The Bakery Run balanced fun and fitness perfectly.
We need more events like this.

6
The Emotional Core
Articulate the core feeling or philosophy behind the concept, focusing on the emotional benefit (the 'why') over the functional one.
