2025 NYPD Memorial 5K Run/Walk
The 23rd annual NYPD Memorial 5K Run/Walk is an event organized by the NYPD Running Club. The in-person race takes place in Manhattan, starting at the intersection of Liberty Street and West Street. The route follows a USATF certified course that ends on West Street, within one block of the starting location.
Prior to the athletic event, a memorial service is held at the NYC Police Memorial Wall near the Battery Park City Esplanade and Liberty Street. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Metro New York Chapter of Concerns Of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), an organization that supports surviving family members and colleagues of NYPD officers who have died in the line of duty.
Participants have the option to join the following distances:
- 5 km run
- 5 km walk
- 5 km virtual race
Registered participants receive an event t-shirt, a personalized bib, and a 2025 memorial towel. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual option allows participants to complete their distance at any location and upload their times and photos online between May 18 and May 25. High-performing participants are recognized in several categories, including overall winners, law enforcement officers, and age group divisions ranging from 14 and under to 70 and over. Award placement for law enforcement officers takes precedence over standard age group categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
