NYCRUNS Lousy T-Shirt Race at Prospect Park, Brooklyn

The event is a 5K run on a USATF certified course that follows just under one full loop of Prospect Park with a final sprint up Center Drive. The race benefits the Prospect Park Alliance; a portion of proceeds will be donated to support park maintenance and programs.

A Festival Area is located in the Nethermead and can be accessed via Center Drive or the walking paths off Well House Drive. The Festival Area houses bib pick up, bag check, bathrooms, and shirt distribution. Start corrals are pace based, assigned by letter from AA to F, and are located on Well House Drive; corral assignments appear on the race bib and are based on the pace listed in the runner dashboard.

On-course and finish-line hydration is provided. Post race refreshments include an ice pop, an apple, and a bag of pretzels. Bag check requires a single clear bag; provided clear bags measure 18 x 24 inches and must contain all items. Race shirts are distributed on race day only and sizes are not guaranteed. Race photos are sent by email a few days after the event.

Handcycle and Wheelchair divisions are included and entries reflect the designation in the participant account. Results are emailed and posted online. Awards are given to top three male, female, and nonbinary finishers overall and to top three in each listed age group. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
