From the Organizer

The pulse of the running world can be felt in Central Park where you and hundreds of athletes from around the world will compete. To race in Central Park is breathtaking not only because of the great course but also because of what this place means to runners from all over the world. This is the largest and most important public backyard (park) in NYC with 843 acres of trees, meadows, paths, and attractions. It’s always beautiful and in the middle of the summer, it’s the place to be. The course is perfect for you, marked at every mile and turn, supported with water stations that have ice cold water and Gatorade. Join us afterward for a fun awards ceremony, NYC’s best bagels!
