NYCRUNS Spring Fling 5K

The event is a 5 km road race on Governors Island in New York, held as a single loop around the island. Entry includes ferry rides for the runner and guests, a race tech shirt (race-day pickup only unless the bib is mailed), and post-race refreshments. The race benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS; donors can add contributions at registration and the event lists several donation impact amounts (for example, $10 for an HIV test, $50 for 20 meals, $250 for medication).

Course, logistics and rules

The 5K course is USATF-certified. Start corrals are assigned by pace (letters AA-F) and shown on the race bib. Bibs are available for pickup in the Festival Area on race morning using a unique QR code; NYCRUNS members can have bibs mailed if registration occurs 20 or more days before the event and the mailing address is in the U.S. Amenities in the Festival Area include bag check (single clear bag required), portable bathrooms, hydration on course and at the finish, post-race fruit and bagels, and race photos emailed after the event. Handcycle and wheelchair athletes are not advised to enter due to the number of turns. Awards are given to the top three male, female, and non-binary overall finishers (by gun time) and to the top three in each age group by net/chip time (age groups: 9 and under; 10-14; 15-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; 60-69; 70 and over). Standard no-refunds, no-transfers policy applies; strollers and dogs are not allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
