The New Yorker 10K and 5K at Riverside Park
The event is a pair of road races held in Riverside Park in Manhattan on 09/26/2026. The course runs near the park waterfront and through the seldom seen Freedom Tunnel. The 5K is one loop and the 10K is two loops of the same course.
Distances:
- 10K - 6.2 Miles
- 5K - 3.1 Miles
Runners receive a bib with an attached timing chip. The bib must be worn on the front of the torso on top of the shirt or jacket to ensure correct readings. Split times are recorded per loop and a final time is provided in real time. Water stations are placed at roughly every 1.5 miles and will provide water, Gatorade, and electrolyte gels.
Race entries list a technical T shirt available in male and female cuts. A commemorative bib is available for entries placed at least four weeks before the race; general bibs are issued thereafter. Finishers receive a die cast medal with a full color ribbon. Awards or plaques are given to the top three overall male and female finishers and to the top three in each age group for male and female: 14-19, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70+.
Baggage check is limited and available on request. Bibs include a tear off tag to pin to personal bags and the matching bib must be shown to retrieve bags from the secure area. Post race refreshments include bagels with cream cheese spreads, organic jelly, peanut butter, fruits, and drinks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
