NYCRUNS Go Nuts For Donuts 5K - Governors Island
The event is a USATF-certified 5K held on Governors Island that makes one full loop of the island with views of New York Harbor and Lower Manhattan. Entries include a race bib, ferry rides for the entrant and guests, an official tech race shirt, and a post-race donut plus additional refueling options.
The Festival Area, a short walk from the ferry terminal, serves as bib and shirt pickup, bag check, restroom access, and the pre- and post-race gathering point. Start corrals are pace based and assigned by letter, AA through F; corral letters appear on the bib and are determined from the pace entered in the participant dashboard.
On-course amenities include water and electrolyte fluids, portable bathrooms, and post-race refreshments such as fresh fruit. Bag check requires a single clear bag (NYCRUNS provides a clear bag if needed) and organizers reserve the right to search bag contents. Race photos are provided by MarathonFoto and are claimable by email after the event.
Results are emailed and posted online after the race. Awards are given to the top three male, female, and non-binary finishers overall by gun time, with age group awards by net/chip time across standard age brackets. Handcycle and wheelchair athletes are not advised to register due to the course layout. The event follows a standard no-refunds, no-transfers policy and enforces rules on strollers, dogs, earbuds, confetti cannons, and time limits.
