About the race
The Best Races in New York hosts multi-distance running events along the Hudson River Greenway in New York, NY, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon (13.1) options. The events emphasize a friendly, low-stress atmosphere with no timing chips and optional timing, welcoming runners of all paces and ages (with guardian required for under-18 participants). Races run in smaller, private waves with limited capacity, and the courses provide scenic river views.
Notable features include no-time-limit formats at select events (e.g., International Sloth Day Run), virtual options, and appealing swag such as shirts, medals, towels, and digital training packs. Registration includes shipped swag, online results, and opportunities for charity or local running clubs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
