NYCRUNS Summer Loving 10K
The NYCRUNS Summer Loving 10K takes place on Governors Island, offering participants views of New York Harbor and the city skyline. The event marks the start of the summer running season with a course designed for those seeking a personal record.
The race features a 10 km distance consisting of a two-loop tour of the island. The course is USATF-certified. Due to the high frequency of turns throughout the route, the organizer does not advise handcycle or wheelchair athletes to participate in this specific event.
Participants arrive at the venue via the Governors Island Ferry from the Battery Maritime Building in Manhattan. On race morning, there is no charge for runners or their guests to use this ferry service. The Festival Area, located a short walk from the ferry terminal, serves as the central hub for the event. This area includes:
- Bib and shirt pickup
- Bag check facilities
- Portable bathrooms
- Post-race recovery fluids and snacks
Runners are organized into a pace-based corral system, with assignments based on the profiles in their registration dashboard. Amenities provided include water and electrolyte fluids at stations along the course and at the finish line. After crossing the finish line, refreshments such as fresh fruit and bagels are provided. All participants receive an official race tech shirt and access to digital race photos following the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
