NYCRUNS Brooklyn Ice Cream Social 5K
The event is a 5K held in Prospect Park with a course that covers just under one full loop of the park and finishes with a final sprint up Center Drive. All NYCRUNS courses are USATF certified. The Festival Area is in the Nethermead and can be accessed via Center Drive or the walking paths off Well House Drive. Start corrals are pace based and assigned by letter (AA-F); assignments appear on the race bib and the corrals are located on Well House Drive.
Race-day amenities include bag check (one single clear bag required; an 18 x 24 clear bag will be provided if needed and may be searched), portable bathrooms, water and electrolyte fluids on course and at the finish, and participant shirts available for pick up on race day only with sizes not guaranteed. Post-race refreshments in the Festival Area include a bag of pretzels, an apple, and a dairy or non-dairy ice cream or ice pop treat. Finishers receive an event finisher medal and photos are available after the race with a complimentary single photo download and optional paid packages.
Bibs are available for pick up in the Festival Area on race day and require a unique QR code; NYCRUNS members may have bibs mailed in advance under specified conditions. Handcycle and Wheelchair Division athletes are welcome and should confirm their division in their profile. Results and awards are posted after the race; overall and age group awards are given for male, female, and non-binary categories. Standard entry policies and competition rules apply.
