NYCRUNS Frozen Pigeon 5K

The NYCRUNS Frozen Pigeon 5K is a scenic winter race held in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY, offering a USATF-certified 5K course that covers just under one full loop of the park with a final sprint up Center Drive to the finish. Designed as a great way to start the new year, it suits runners training for spring marathons or those seeking outdoor activity during winter. The event features a festival area in the Nethermead for bib pickup, gear check, and amenities including hydration stations, portable bathrooms, and post-race refreshments like Brooklyn bagels and fresh fruit.

Pace-based start corrals and awards for various age groups and divisions add to the competitive yet welcoming atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
