NYCRUNS Central Park Half Marathon & 5K

4.1/5

Take a wintry tour of Central Park's rolling hills and test your fitness going into the spring season. If you haven’t raced in Central Park in winter, you’re in for an off-season treat. You’d never know that the clogged streets of 5th avenue and Central Park West are only a few yards away. The park is quiet and peaceful, with just the sounds of runners’ footsteps to serenade you.
