NYCRUNS Frozen Pigeon 5K

· New York, United StatesUpcoming

NYCRUNS Frozen Pigeon 5K is a 5 km road race held in New York, United States, in January.

The race is staged in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. The course covers just under one full lap of the park's drive, then finishes with a final sprint up Center Drive, so the last stretch is uphill. Elsewhere the park road rolls gently, which gives the route some variety despite the short distance.

The festival area sits in the Nethermead, reached on foot by Center Drive or Well House Drive. Runners start in pace-based corrals, which keeps faster and slower participants apart on the shared park road.
