NYCRUNS Go Nuts for Donuts 10K
The event is a 10 km road race taking place on Governors Island in New York Harbor. It is the ninth annual edition and the final Governors Island event of the year. Participants run two loops of the island, with views of New York Harbor and Lower Manhattan.
Entry includes a race bib, ferry rides for runners and guests, an official tech shirt, and a post-race donut and fresh fruit. The festival area, near the ferry terminal, is where participants pick up their bib and shirt, check bags, and use portable bathrooms. The start and finish lines are steps from this area.
The course is USATF-certified. The race uses a pace-based start corral system with assignments from AA to F printed on the bib. Bibs are picked up on race morning in the festival area using a unique QR code; they can be mailed for free to NYCRUNS members or for an additional fee to non-members.
Water and electrolyte drinks are available on course and at the finish. Gear check is available but requires a single clear bag. Awards are given to the top three overall male, female, and non-binary runners (gun time) and top three in each age group (chip time). Age groups range from 19 and under to 70 and over.
The race advises handcycle or wheelchair athletes against participating due to a high number of turns on the course. Strollers and dogs are not permitted. Headphones may lead to disqualification if they hinder awareness. A free NYCRUNS Events App provides real-time tracking. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
