NYCRUNS Lousy T-Shirt Race

The NYCRUNS Lousy T-Shirt Race, celebrating 15 years of racing, takes place in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. This 5K event, originally launched in 2011, aims to provide a fun running experience while benefiting the Prospect Park Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to maintaining the park. Participants can expect a USATF-certified course, amenities like bag check, hydration stations, and post-race refreshments.

Unique to this race is the giveaway of a "lousy" t-shirt, which has become a quirky tradition. The event also welcomes handcycle and wheelchair athletes, ensuring inclusivity for all participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
