NYCRUNS Haunted Island 10K
The event is a 10K race held on Governors Island with a two-loop, USATF-certified course that circles the island and offers views of New York Harbor. Entry includes a ferry ride for the runner and guests, race entry, an official race tech shirt, and post-race refreshments including fruit, a bagel, and Halloween candy.
A Festival Area near the ferry terminal serves as bib and shirt pickup, bag check, and a gathering spot before and after the race. Start corrals are pace-based and assigned by letter from AA to F; corral assignments appear on the bib and can be updated via the NYCRUNS dashboard. If a bib is mailed, members receive free mailing when active on race day; mailed bibs require registration at least 20 days before the event and a U.S. mailing address. Otherwise bibs and shirts are available for pickup on race morning with a QR code.
On-course support includes water and electrolyte fluids and portable bathrooms. Photo packages can be pre-purchased and every event includes one free downloadable race photo. Results are emailed and posted online. Awards are given to the top three male, female, and non-binary finishers overall by gun time, with age group awards by net time across standard age brackets.
Race policies note no refunds or transfers, member withdrawal for race credit, a time limit to receive course support, and prohibitions on strollers, dogs, earbuds that impede awareness, and confetti cannons. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
