This four-mile run/walk is for runners of all ages and fitness levels, and is presented in partnership with the Central Park Conservancy, the non-profit organization that manages and cares for Central Park. NYRR and CPC are joining forces to make this the greenest race of 2010. All the awards, including for the kids' races, will be earth-friendly, and CPC will plant flowers throughout the Park in honor of each race winner. Thus the race will have a lasting, healthy effect on the environment.

Heat Advisory
Warm, humid weather is expected Saturday in NYC. Please use common sense while running, respect your limits, and don’t hesitate to seek help from our staff and volunteers if needed.
