In the heart of the midtown, the most avoided and despised neighborhood in all of Manhattan,
at the confluence of massive tourism and corporate business, the Midtown Games were born as
a way for New Yorkers to reclaim their city in the spirit friendly competition.
In the third Midtown Games, a 250 Meter Relay Race, 100 runners took back all of Times Square.
Starting at 42nd and stretching up to 47th street they created a platform for the revival of
lighthearted community in the face of omnipresent commerce and advertising.

In the most densely populated city in the United States,
in the most densely populated neighborhood in that city,
at the most densely populated time in that neighborhood
a game for the people, a game to reclaim their city and raise their spirits.
