Du City Tri Runs NYC Summer Half and 5 Miler

Central Park provides the setting: East Drive, the 102nd Street Crossing, West Drive, and Terrace Drive form a familiar route for this chip-timed race. It begins at East Drive and the 102nd Street Transverse, completing the northern loop before heading south on West Drive and crossing Terrace Drive back to East Drive. This event is designed around the beauty of Central Park, without unnecessary fanfare. Runners will complete multiple loops on clearly marked, running-only lanes, finishing at the 102nd Street Crossing where packet pickup also occurs. The logistics are straightforward: check your valuables with the race staff at the finish, then walk a short distance to the start. "Runners from all over the world come here," yet it retains a local feel, particularly when the course requires tackling the northern hills more than once.
