THE NYC SPRING 10K and 5K - Riverside Park, New York
THE NYC SPRING 10K and 5K takes place on May 3, 2026, at Riverside Park with the listed meeting point near the 84th Street entrance in New York, NY 10024. The course passes through the seldom seen Freedom Tunnel and runs along Riverside Park, a roughly 150 year old park noted for its waterfront views, greenery and walking and biking paths.
The event offers two race distances:
- 10 km (two loops of the course)
- 5 km (one loop of the course)
Water stations are provided at about every 1.5 miles and will supply water, Gatorade and electrolyte gels. Registered participants receive a technical t-shirt in male and female cuts; a commemorative bib is available to those who register at least four weeks prior, with a general bib thereafter. Finishers receive a die cast medal with a full color ribbon. Awards and plaques are given to the top three overall male and female finishers and to the top three in each age group for male and female divisions: 14-19, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70+.
Race day packet pick-up and baggage check-in take place on the morning of the event; participants must present photo I.D. Post-race provisions include bagels with spreads, organic jelly, peanut butter, fruits and drinks. The race policy notes no transfers, credits or refunds and reserves the right to alter or cancel the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
