About the race
The Best Races presents NYC running events along the Hudson River Greenway in New York, offering 5K, 10K, and 13.1-mile distances. The events cultivate a festive, community atmosphere—think Oktoberfest with Bavarian flair or a Donut Run—while maintaining a relaxed, private-group vibe with limited waves. Highlights include no timing chips and optional timing, allowing participants to run at their own pace.
Swag includes a mailed technical shirt, a finisher medal, and a towel or giveaway, plus online results and certificates. Virtual participation, local running clubs, and charitable support are encouraged, making it a social fitness experience rather than a sole competition.
