About the race
The NY Skyline event on November 14, 2026 takes place at Liberty State Park in Jersey City and offers three measured race distances along the waterfront with views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.
Runners choose from these distances:
- Half marathon : 4 loops, 3.27 mi each
- 10K : 2 loops, 3.1 mi each
- 5K : 1 loop, 3.1 mi
The course runs on park paths and is described as flat with only minor inclines; roughly one third of the route passes under trees. Intersections are marked with yellow signs that display the arrow and the distance; participants must follow the signs for their chosen race. Each loop has three water stations offering water, Gatorade, and gels.
Race-day services include bib pickup (race day only; bring the confirmation check-in code), bag check, portable toilets at the start area, and pre-race announcements. Timing is provided by professional chip timing; runners must wear their bib on the front torso and cross the start mat within three minutes to remain eligible for awards. The half marathon has a maximum finish time requirement and the finish chute may be removed after the stated race window.
Every finisher receives a medal and a technical shirt. Live results, free personalized photos and video, and a post-race spread of bagels, snacks, and drinks are provided. Awards include overall plaques and age group medals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
