Description
- This 5K race honors the late Percy Sutton, who as Manhattan borough president in the 1970s championed the New York City Marathon as a five-borough event and remained a supporter of NYRR and running throughout his life; he passed away in 2009. The run celebrates historic Harlem and is part of HARLEM WEEK, one of the northeast area's largest cultural celebrations.

Course Info
This fast 5K course runs alongside Jackie Robinson Park and circles St. Nicholas Park, both historic and beautiful enclaves in the heart of Harlem. Although there is significant climbing in the first mile, most of the rest of the race is flat and downhill.
Mile 1: Starting at 135th Street and Brandhurst Avenue, head north on Brandhurst Avenue. Turn left at 145th Street and right onto Edgecombe Avenue. Continue north, passing Jackie Robinson Park on your right.
Mile 2: Make a left at 155th Street and another left onto St. Nicholas Place. Turn right at 150th Street and left onto Convent Avenue and continue running south on Convent Avenue.
Mile 3: Circle St. Nicholas Park and enjoy a thrillingly flat and fast final half-mile to the finish on St. Nicholas Avenue at approximately 138th Street, near the Percy E. Sutton Education Complex.
