1998 Run for Goodwill
The 1998 Goodwill Games were held in the New York
City area. This time, there was a 5 Mile road race, with a
course that started at the United Nations building, flowed down
the FDR Drive and ended in Battery Park. These pictures were
taken on the FDR Drive near East 12th Street.
