NYCRUNS Summer Loving 5K : Governors Island, May 8, 2027
The event is a 5K run held on Governors Island that follows one loop of the island. The course is USATF-certified. Medical support will be available along the course and at the finish. One fluid station will provide cups of water on the loop; bathrooms are located in the Festival Area and on the course just past each fluid station.
A Festival Area near the ferry terminal serves as bib and shirt pickup, bag check, and a gathering area before and after the run. Bag check requires a single clear bag; organizers will provide a clear bag (18" x 24") if needed. Participant shirts are distributed on race day only and sizes are not guaranteed. Post-race refueling includes cups of water and Gatorade, an apple, and a bagel.
Start corrals are pace-based and assigned by letter (AA-F); corral assignments appear on bibs and are based on the pace entered in the participant dashboard. Bib mailing is available: NYCRUNS members receive free bib mailing; non-members can purchase mailing. Bibs can be mailed only if registration occurs 20 days or more before the event and only to U.S. addresses. Unmailed bibs are available for pickup race morning at the Festival Area using a QR code.
Results will be emailed and posted online. Awards are given to the top three overall male, female, and non-binary finishers (by gun time) and to top three in each age group (by net/chip time). Due to the course layout, handcycle and wheelchair athletes are not advised to register. The event follows a no-refunds, no-transfers policy; members may withdraw for race credit.
