The Manhattanite
The Manhattanite is a CityTri Runs event on December 5, 2026, held in Riverside Park at 84th Street and Riverside Drive in Manhattan. The course runs along the Hudson on an out-and-back section of park paths and uses the same stretch for both distances.
The route is not flat; climbing appears as short, steep hills rather than one long grade. The course uses a U-turn located about 200 feet before the finish to direct the longer distance back for another lap. Water stations are provided on course with water, Gatorade, and gels.
Distances
- 10K two loops, each about 3.1 mi
- 5K one loop, about 3.1 mi
Race-day logistics include bib pickup on race day only, bag check, portable toilets at the start, and pre-race announcements. Every finisher receives a medal and a technical race shirt; post-race provisions include bagels, snacks, and drinks. Awards include plaques for the top three men and women overall in each distance and medals for the top three in each age group.
Timing uses professional chip timing with live splits and results posted during the event. Free personalized race photos and videos are posted after the race. Participants must wear their bib on the front of the torso, be at least six years old, and note that coaches, baby-joggers, bikes, dogs, in-line skates, and skateboards are not allowed on the course. Refund protection and limited transfer options are offered under event policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
