Race Information
NYCRUNS invites you to take part in the Central Park Half Marathon! The race will take you on a wintry tour of Central Park's rolling hills and provides an excellent opportunity to test your fitness going into the spring season.
If you haven’t raced in Central Park in winter, you’re in for an off-season treat. You’d never know that the clogged streets of 5th Avenue and Central Park West are only a few yards away. The park is quiet and peaceful, with just the sounds of runners’ footsteps serenading you.
