Held on January 2, 2027, the NSRF Woolly Mammoth is a shore-side running event at Veterans Pier in Brooklyn and serves as the first stop of the NYC Parks Winter Series. The event offers both in-person and virtual participation.
Distances
- 5K
- 10K
The 5K is one loop out and back along the shore. The 10K consists of two loops out and back along the same shore course. There is a cutoff for the 10K of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Wheelchair participants are welcome, but the course includes several tight 180-degree turns that may not suit all wheelchair racers.
Amenities include an informal bag check area, bathrooms within a few minutes' walk of the start and finish, hydration at the finish line, and refreshments provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Participants receive a Woolly Mammoth tee and a finisher medal. A free kiddie dash takes place shortly before the main races.
Bib options include in-person pickup from event staff shortly before the start or mailing for a $10 fee if registered at least 10 days in advance. Public transportation is encouraged; limited street parking is available on Bay Ridge Ave and Shore Road.
Online age-group recognition is provided for overall top finishers and for age categories from 14 & under through 90+; proceeds support the Never Stop Running Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
