Gov­er­nors Island was com­plete­ly off lim­its to nor­mal New York­ers for 200 years. Nowa­days, the island is more acces­si­ble, along with the best views of low­er Man­hat­tan, the Brook­lyn coast­line, and New York Har­bor. What bet­ter way to explore the water­front than with a week­end run? Your entry to the NYCRUNS Gov­er­nors Island 5K and 10K includes a fer­ry ride, your race-entry, a snazzy tech t‑shirt, and post-race eats. Then make a day of it and stick around for island fun, includ­ing arts exhibits, a fort vis­it, or the 300-foot zipline.

All NYCRUNS will be con­duct­ed uti­liz­ing COVID-19 health and safe­ty prac­tices. Please make sure to review the COVID-19 pro­to­cols on each race page and sub­se­quent com­mu­ni­ca­tions. Each event may also be run virtually.

NYCRUNS pro­duces run­ning events that exceed the stan­dards of the biggest events in the world while pro­vid­ing the atmos­phere of a true com­mu­ni­ty race. That means pro­duc­ing accu­rate­ly mea­sured and timed races with appro­pri­ate on-course sup­port, excep­tion­al race swag, and a fes­ti­val that tru­ly makes you want to cel­e­brate your accom­plish­ments with friends, all with the great­est city in the world as a jaw-drop­ping back­drop. NYCRUNS puts on about 35 races annu­al­ly in New York City includ­ing the Queens Half Marathon, the Brook­lyn Marathon, the Cen­tral Park Half Marathon, and the icon­ic Empire State Build­ing Run-Up.
