About the race
The NYCRUNS Prospect Park 5K Benefiting CAMBA takes place on April 11, 2027 in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY. The course is just under one full loop around the park with a final sprint up Center Drive and is USATF certified.

The event benefits CAMBA, a community organization serving over 80,000 people annually.
Donation examples provided by the organizer include $250 to supply essential baby items for a new mother in a family shelter, $500 for emergency food distribution, $1,000 to support job training and a Home Health Aide certification, and $2,500 to assist a high school senior through a college access program. The Festival Area is located in the Nethermead and can be accessed via Center Drive or the walking paths off Well House Drive. Festival services include bib and shirt pickup, bag check with a single clear bag provided (18 x 24), portable bathrooms, water on course, post-race refreshments (water, Gatorade, an apple, and a bagel with schmear), and race photos with one free downloadable image.
