The New Yorker 10K and 5K at Riverside Park
The event offers two road running distances through Riverside Park South by the Hudson River near the Upper West Side. The course uses the park paths and includes the seldom seen Freedom Tunnel as part of the route. The layout is one loop for the 5K and two loops for the 10K.
Water stations are provided at about every 1.5 miles and will supply water, Gatorade, and electrolyte gels. Each participant receives a bib with an attached timing chip; the bib must be worn on the front of the torso. Split times per loop and a final reading are provided in real time. Baggage check-in is limited and available on request; bibs include a tear-off tag that must match the personal bag for retrieval from the secure area.
Race apparel and awards include a technical t-shirt in male and female cuts, a die cast medal with a full color ribbon, and awards or plaques for the top three overall men and women. Age group awards are given for 14-19, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70+. Post-race refreshments include bagels, cream cheese spreads, organic jelly, peanut butter, fruits, and drinks.
Registration details listed include opening on 2026-03-28 and closing on 2026-07-24, with published entry fees of $60.00 for the 10K and $50.00 for the 5K.
