The JURCs 2026 10K/10M 5-Borough Series - NYC is a running race on August 8, 2026 in Brooklyn, NY.
From the Organizer
Forget the frantic pace of the race clock and the crowded corrals - The JURCs 2026 10K/10M 5-Borough Series is bringing a different kind of energy to the pavement. From April through October, we’re hosting 5 laid-back, community-first tours of NYC that’s more about the miles and the memories than the podium. Whether you’re looking to cruise through a scenic 10K or stretch your legs with a steady 10-Miler.
No timing chips, no pressure, just great routes, better company, and a shared journey toward those running goals.
We are keeping the momentum going with a special edition run in conjunction with Summer Streets! Please meet us outside of the Cadman Plaza Post Office in Brooklyn by 6:30 AM; wheels up (and feet moving!) at 7:00 AM sharp.
Parking: You will need to park near Cadman Plaza East or in the Brooklyn Bridge area and make your way over to the main entrance of the Post Office.
The Course: We will run together over the Brooklyn Bridge to the starting point of Summer Streets, then head completely uptown. This is a straight up and back but we end the run at the foot of the bridge on NYC side since by that time foot traffic on the bridge makes it hard to run. We than do a one mile cool down walk back to the Post office.
10K Option: Run uptown to 27th Street. (Link to course)
10-Miler Option: Run uptown to 72nd Street. (Link to course)
Note: This will not be a race, but instead a collaborative long run. To keep things low-key and focused on the miles, we will NOT be providing bibs or timing the run. We encourage everyone to track their own miles on Strava or Garmin.
Exact Meeting Location: Cadman Plaza Post Office (Brooklyn, NY - near the Brooklyn Bridge)
Meetup Location Maps: Google / Apple
5-Borough Series T-Shirts will be available after the run.
