Michael Hanly 5K

Michael Hanly, a sanitation worker assigned to BK11, died after a bag of hazardous chemicals exploded on his truck. An original memorial race in his honor and for other fallen DSNY members ran for years before fading. Now, his son and the DSNY Running Club have revived this event. The Inaugural Michael Hanly 5K starts in the department's backyard, with proceeds supporting families of sanitation workers who have experienced similar tragedies.
