Six bar stops carry this New York Backpackers outing from Manhattan through Long Island City and Brooklyn on Nov. 21. Walking is allowed; the six posted leg distances add up to 7.2 miles, while the event title says eight.

All times are local to the venue ยท America/New York
The group meets at Gregorys Coffee at 12:30 p.m. and sets off at 12:45. Running is optional: the organizer says participants may walk the entire route, which is structured around six venue stops rather than a single running time.
From Gregorys Coffee on Madison Avenue, the itinerary goes to The Jeffrey Craft & Beer, then Fifth Hammer Brewing in Long Island City, before continuing to Brouwerij Lane, Spritzenhaus, Haab and Pine Box Rock Shop in Brooklyn. The coffee shop is the meeting point; the route ends at Pine Box, not back in Manhattan.
That sequence makes the finish worth planning for separately from the start. The listing schedules arrival at Pine Box at 8 p.m., while the event is listed through 8:30 p.m.; it gives no return-transport plan or additional activity for the final half-hour.

The six published distances are 0.8, 2.3, 1.5, 0.8, 1 and 0.8 miles. Together they add up to 7.2 miles; the event title says eight, but the listing does not give a separate measurement of the full course. The individual figures are the clearest guide for deciding whether the route suits you.
This is presented as a social outing, not a race. The organizer says the group typically gets a beer at each stop and spends about 30 minutes to an hour there before moving on. Those are usual practices, not a promise that every attendee must drink or that purchases are included.

The itinerary identifies Haab as a food stop and mentions beer and burritos there. It does not say that food or drinks are included in the event, so plan for purchases separately.
