NYCRUNS Lousy T-Shirt Race

The NYCRUNS Lousy T Shirt Race is a 5K road race held in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. The course covers just under one full loop of the park with a final sprint up Center Drive. All NYCRUNS courses are USATF certified.

A portion of event proceeds will be donated to Prospect Park Alliance, the nonprofit that supports maintenance and programming in Prospect Park. The Festival Area is located in the Nethermead and is accessible from Center Drive or the walking paths off Well House Drive. The race finishes on Center Drive near the Festival Area.

NYCRUNS uses a pace based corral system with corrals assigned by letter and located on Well House Drive. Bibs are distributed on race day using a unique race QR code; NYCRUNS members may receive mailed bibs when registered in advance and to U.S. addresses. Shirts are distributed only on race day and sizes are not guaranteed.

On course and finish amenities include water and electrolyte fluids, portable bathrooms, bag check with a single clear bag requirement, and post race refreshments including an ice pop, an apple, and pretzels. Event photos are emailed after the race with one free download available.

Handcycle and wheelchair divisions are included; athletes in those divisions should verify their designation in their NYCRUNS profile. NYCRUNS members receive a 10 percent entry discount and may access member benefits and race credit options. Overall and age group awards are offered for male, female, and non binary divisions.
