NYPD Memorial 5K Run/Walk
The NYPD Memorial 5K is held in lower Manhattan with the course beginning on Liberty Street at West Street and finishing on West Street within a block of the start. Pre- and post-race amenities and packet pickup are located on Liberty Street between South End Avenue and West Street. A pre-race memorial service takes place at the NYC Police Memorial Wall near the Battery Park City Esplanade and Liberty Street.
Registration for the event includes an event T-shirt, a personalized bib, and a memorial towel noted for the 2026 event. Packet pickup options include a pre-race location at the Midtown South Police Precinct (357 W 35th Street) and a day-of pickup on Liberty Street between South End Avenue and West Street. Family and friends may collect packets on behalf of registered participants. Virtual entries receive shipped packets.
Awards are offered across multiple divisions, including top three overall men and women, law enforcement divisions, masters (40 and over) and law enforcement masters, plus standard age-group awards from 14 and under through 70 and over. There is no duplication of awards and law enforcement awards take precedence over other categories except for overall winners.
The event partners with the Metro New York Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors C.O.P.S., with proceeds supporting surviving families and affected co-workers of NYPD officers who died in the line of duty. Results and race photos are provided online, including live timing, finish-line video, and same-day finish-line pictures. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
