The NYCRUNS Go Nuts For Donuts 5K is a 5 km race taking place on Governors Island. The ninth edition of this event is scheduled for a late autumn date.
The Course
The course is a single loop around Governors Island, offering views of New York Harbor and Lower Manhattan. It is USATF-certified. The start and finish lines are near the Festival Area.
Participant Information
