The series is a group of six 5K cross country races held at the Tortoise and Hare Statue area in Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, New York, running from May 28 to July 30, 2026. Races are scheduled on alternate Thursday evenings during the series.
The event uses the classic Tortoise and Hare 5K course. The course features uphill and downhill sections typical of cross country terrain.
Entry options and race services are provided for participants. Individual 5K race entry is listed at $15. A single registration option covers all six 5K races for $70. Bib pickup and check in occur on race day. Awards take place immediately after each race and raffles follow the awards presentation.
Prizes for weekly results are specified. Overall winners each week receive a carrot cake from Lloyds Famous. Age group winners each week receive a carrot cake muffin from Lloyds Famous.
Children are included in the schedule for the final three race evenings. Those kids runs are 0.5 mile, free of charge, and require a parent to stay with their child.
