Here is the full story. I used Strava to track to my runs, then would export & combine the GPX file from the run with an ongoing consolidated GPX file on GPX.Studio. I used https://gpx-animator.app/ to animate the route. The full GPX data is here.

On December 19th 2023, I finished running every single block of every street and avenue in Manhattan. It took me all year and covered roughly 750 miles, not including the times I had to double back.

On this date in 1954, 65-year old Thomas Keane finished walking every street in Manhattan, a feat that the New York Times included coverage of. Fifty years later to the day, Columbia University librarian Caleb Smith repeated Keane’s accomplishment. After running two miles down Madison Avenue, I carried on a tradition that has now lasted for almost 70 years, bringing my pointless but difficult quest to run every street in Manhattan to a close.
