Course and race features
The race is chip timed and uses paved, mostly flat loops with few turns and long straightaways that provide views of the Unisphere, athletic statues, and a lake. The course layout described in the event information: a 3.27 mile loop that the half marathon field completes four times, and a 1.55 mile loop that 10K runners complete four times and 5K runners complete twice.
On-course support includes water, Gatorade, and power gels distributed at several points, approximately every mile. Multiple splits and live tracking are provided for progress updates, and the event is live streamed on YouTube. Timers can allow participants to switch to a shorter distance after they start and still be scored. Organizers may adjust distances or the course for high heat, beginning by reducing the half marathon to a ten miler. Finishers receive a runner's jersey and a finishers medal. Participants are advised to leave valuables with the race team at the start. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
