Whether you’re racing or cheering, it’s a morning of fun, competition, and connection. Don’t miss this unforgettable event—register now and take part in something special!

All registrants will receive a long-sleeve race shirt.  Prizes will be given for the top three in each division, in 10-year increments. 

The race will be run in heats, similar to NYRR's Fifth Avenue Mile, between 8:00 and 11:00 AM. There will be a Kid's Fun Run shortly before the main competition.
