The New Yorker
The New Yorker is a CityTri Runs event on September 26, 2026, held in Riverside Park in Manhattan along the Hudson River and the seldom seen Freedom Tunnel. The course runs on park paths that follow the waterfront and showcase Manhattan views and riverside greenery.
Distances
- 10K - two loops, 3.1 mi each
- 5K - one loop, 3.1 mi start to finish
The course is an out-and-back layout on the same stretch of waterfront. It is not flat: climbing is concentrated in short, steep hills rather than one long incline. The 10K uses a lap system with a U-turn placed about 200 feet before the finish at the end of each loop; 5K participants run through the finish arch.
Race operations include race-day bib pickup, a bag check, limited portable toilets at the start, and pre-race announcements. Pro chip timing is used and live results with per-lap splits are posted after the race. On-course support includes water stations with water, Gatorade, and gels; there are two water stations per loop.
Post-race items provided to finishers include a medal and a tech shirt, plus bagels, snacks, and drinks. Awards include plaques for overall top three men and women and medals for top three in each age group. Participants must wear their bib on the front, sign required waivers, be at least six years old, and follow event rules that prohibit coaches, baby-joggers, bikes, dogs, and similar equipment on the course.
