About the race

NYCRUNS Lousy T-Shirt Race is a 5K held in Prospect Park, Brooklyn on June 15, 2027. A portion of the event proceeds will be donated to Prospect Park Alliance, the nonprofit that maintains and programs Prospect Park. The course covers just under one full loop of the park with a final sprint up Center Drive and is USATF certified. The Festival Area is located in the Nethermead and provides bib and shirt distribution, bag check, portable restrooms, and post race refueling that includes water, Gatorade, a bag of pretzels, and a bagel with schmear.

Bag check accepts a single clear bag 18 x 24 inches. Water is provided at one fluid station along the course. Participant tech shirts are distributed at the Festival Area before or after the race and sizes are not guaranteed.

Finisher medals are presented at the finish. Race photos include one free download per participant and discounted photo packages can be pre purchased. Start corrals are pace based and assigned by letter from AA to F; corral assignments are shown on the bib and located on Well House Drive. NYCRUNS Members receive free bib mailing; non members may purchase bib mailing for $25 with conditions that include US mailing addresses and registration at least 20 days before the event.

Registration prices vary by date with members paying between $36 and $58.50 and non members between $40 and $65. Handcycle and Wheelchair divisions are supported and participants in those divisions will be entered automatically if their account reflects that designation. Results are emailed and posted online. Awards are given to the top three male, female, and non binary finishers overall by gun time and to the top three in standard age groups by net time.

The race is a qualifying event for the NYCRUNS Local Elite Athlete Race Entry Program and has specific membership, time, competition history, and identification requirements for eligibility. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
