This is a throwback-themed race in the perfect spot—Central Park—where many iconic moments in running have occurred! Be on the lookout for our vintage lead car, old-school running gear, and other surprises. In the spirit of historical races, the course won’t feature clocks at each mile; instead, staff will call out splits just like back in the day!

Future generations of runners will take part at the Kids' Races at NYRR Retro Run (5M) on the same day.
