You will then follow the path down to about 96th Street before turning north again and winding through the network of paths around the tennis courts and Dinosaur Park. The course is challenging, but offers plenty of downhills to make up for the uphills! Plus, the course offers terrific views of the Hudson River and Palisades Park across the way.

Bag check and toilets will be provided.The giveaway for this race will be a great tech t-shirt (note: sizes are unisex and not guaranteed). Water and Gatorade will be available on the course, and Clif Bar products, bagels, spreads, fresh fruit and more will make up the usual great NYCRUNS post race spread to greet you at the finish line. Hot cocoa may be available should the weather call for it.
