NYCRUNS Go Nuts For Donuts 5K
The event is the Ninth Annual NYCRUNS Go Nuts For Donuts 5K held on Governors Island at Colonels Row in New York, NY on November 15, 2026. The course is one full loop of the island and is USATF certified. Entries include a race bib, ferry rides for the runner and guests, an official tech shirt, and a post race donut along with other refueling options.
The Festival Area is a short walk from the ferry terminal and serves as bib and shirt pickup, bag check, restroom access, and a gathering spot before and after the race. Start corrals are assigned by pace using lettered groups AA through F and the assignment appears on the bib. Portable bathrooms, water and electrolyte fluids on course and at the finish, and post race fruit are provided.
Bag check requires a single clear bag (18 x 24 inches) and event staff may inspect bag contents. Bibs are available for pick up on race morning using a unique QR code; NYCRUNS members may have bibs mailed at no cost when registered early. Handcycle and wheelchair athletes are not advised to enter this course because of the number of turns. Results are emailed and posted after the race, and awards are given to top overall finishers and to top age group finishers by specified categories.
Policies include standard no refunds and no transfers, prohibition of strollers and dogs, and rules about earbuds and celebratory confetti. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
