Event Description

THE RACE

We are back in Riverside Park, ready as ever for spring to officially bloom in NYC. For spectacular views of the Hudson, nothing beats Riverside park, plus some challenging hills will keep you on your toes. You’ll wind through tree-lined paths and waterfront walkways on this totally traffic-free and peaceful course. No matter which distance you choose, you’re going to have a blast.

And you know what else? With the plentiful bagel and fruit spread at the finish, you won’t even need to go out for brunch. Now that’s how to toast spring for real.
