NYCRUNS Central Park Half Marathon
The NYCRUNS Central Park Half Marathon is a popular annual race held in New York City's Central Park, offering a scenic winter running experience. The USATF-certified course starts near 93rd Street on West Drive, covering two and a half loops of the park, including the challenging Harlem Hill, and finishes at the 102nd Street transverse. Runners enjoy less crowded paths and spectacular views during the winter season.
The event features a pace-based corral start system, on-course hydration, post-race refreshments, and swag including a finisher's medal and race shirt. A 12-week customized training program is available, and prize money is awarded to top finishers meeting specific criteria. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
