About
As we approach the end of a hard year, let's make this a season of light for our families and our community. While the holidays may look different this year, our shared joy of running can make this a bright time and bring us together, even if we have to stay apart. Let’s celebrate the ways that members of our running community have helped one another and inspired others all year long. Join the Virtual NYRR Season of Light 5K Powered by Strava between December 7 and 13. Invite family and friends, from near and far, to run and walk with you—virtually—together.
You can also sign up for the Virtual NYRR Season of Light 5K and work toward completing your 2020 NYRR Year-End 5K PR Series. Finish the year strong with three virtual 5K races and you'll be rewarded with some hardware.
At this time, all runners should protect their health and safety and that of others by social distancing while running. Please stay up-to-date on the latest news and guidelines from the CDC, WHO, and your local and national authorities. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at help@nyrr.org.
