NYCRUNS Manhattan Ice Cream Social 10K

The event is a 10 km road race run as two loops around Governors Island on a USATF-certified course. The race includes on-course hydration and medical support. Ferry service to and from the island is provided at no charge for runners and guests on race morning; ferries depart from the Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street in Manhattan and run on the half hour.

A Festival Area near the ferry terminal serves as bib and shirt pickup, bag check, restroom access, and the post-race refreshment zone. Post-race provisions include water, electrolyte fluids, a bag of pretzels, an apple, and an ice cream or ice pop option. A tech shirt is the official race giveaway and shirts are available for pick up on race day only; sizes are not guaranteed.

Start corrals are assigned by letter (AA-F) based on the pace entered in the NYCRUNS Dashboard and are noted on the bib. Bag check requires a single clear bag (18" x 24"); organizers reserve the right to search contents. Portable bathrooms will be available.

Bibs are available for pickup on race morning with a unique QR code; mailed bibs are offered to NYCRUNS members or for an added fee if registration occurs at least 30 days before the event and the address is within the U.S. Handcycle and wheelchair athletes are advised against this course due to the number of turns.

Results are posted after the race; awards are given to the top three overall male, female, and non-binary finishers and to top three in standard age groups by net/chip time. Standard no-refunds, no-transfers policy applies; members may withdraw for race credit. Strollers and dogs are not allowed and certain on-course items may lead to disqualification.
