Adventure Park
Have you ever wanted to go zip lining on a tropical island? Well, Long Island isn't so tropical, but it does have a huge climbing and zip lining park with 10 different trails. For $54, you can climb and zip through the park for three hours.
Fly High

Night Nation Run
The Night Nation Run is the world's first running music festival. Run, walk, or dance through a 5K filled with DJs and parties! If you don't want to run, you can volunteer and still enjoy the party! Don't miss out on this event and its epic after party! This event supports Stand Up To Cancer, which is a cancer research charity. This year, Night Nation Run will take place at night in Brooklyn, NY on Friday, June 3. Tickets start at $29 and include a t-shirt, goodies, giveaways and admission to the after party.
Blacklight Run
Unfortunately, there is no Color Run scheduled for this year. However, the Blacklight Run will definitely make up for this! Think of this as a mix between the Color Run and Night Nation Run. Runners and walkers wear white or bright colors and are sprayed with neon paint as they run the 5K. It's basically one big glow-in-the-dark party! And of course, there is an amazing after party! The Blacklight Run will be Saturday, July 23, in Brooklyn starting at $20 a person. Tickets includes a t-shirt, a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a glow pack and admission to the after party.ROC Race
The ROC Race is probably the most fun thing you will do all year. It is a 5K obstacle course (just like the TV show Wipeout), that includes wrecking balls, foam of fury, the hippo, and the sweeper. This huge event will be held on Saturday, September 10 in Brooklyn. It's the perfect way to end your summer break before jumping back into the school year. Right now, ticket prices are $61, but prices go up through the summer, so buy your tickets ASAP! You will get a T-shirt, medal and post-race fun (including beer) with your ticket purchase.
National Beer Mile
Do you love beer, but hate running? Well, this will definitely motive you to run and be active! At the National Beer Mile, you can run or walk a mile while drinking beer, then you head over to the after party filled with great music, games, and more beer. It is on Saturday, Oct.1 in Brooklyn. Tickets start at $35, which includes four beers during the race and and an open bar after party.
