Event details and schedule
Benefitting NYC YMCAs and Produced By NYCRUNS
If you’re going to spend one day in Coney Island this summer, this should be it. We have more fun packed into this race entry than you will find anywhere else!
The home plate finish is just the beginning. Our post-race festivities include a party with BBQ and beer, a Brooklyn Cyclones game and a fun day on the Coney Island boardwalk. Runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome.
This 5K course is accurately measured and electronically-timed. There is also an untimed 1.5-Mile Walk.
Proceeds from the race will benefit the YMCA of Greater New York. When registering, members and friends of the Y should select their own “YMCA branch” to send support directly to children and families in their community. Join us at the event and help raise funds via Crowdrise to support the YMCA. Go to Crowdrise to sign up for fundraising, create a team when registering for the event or choose one of the existing teams. If you do not already have a Crowdrise account, one will be created for you automatically when you list a team.
Everything you give to the Annual Campaign of New York City’s YMCA gives children and families the chance to thrive. No one is ever turned away.
