NYCRUNS Prospect Park 5K
NYCRUNS Prospect Park 5K is a 5K road race held in New York, United States, in April.
The race is set in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and covers 3.1 miles. Runners follow a route that falls slightly short of a complete circuit of the park, then climb Center Drive for a closing push to the line.
Center Drive carries the finish back towards the Nethermead, where the festival area sits. Handcycle and wheelchair divisions run alongside the main field.
Starts are organised by pace. Runners are placed into corrals labelled AA through F according to the speed they have indicated, so people of similar ability set off together.
