Coffee Lovers Run NYC is a coffee-themed morning run on the Hudson River Trails in New York City, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances, along with a Family 1 Mile Fun Run. It is organized as a private group run, not a chip-timed event, with waves that close once full. Runners and walkers of all paces are welcome; individuals under 18 require a guardian.
The course begins and ends on the Hudson River Trails, with the route map emailed to participants. Timing is optional, allowing participants to use apps like Strava or RunKeeper, submit results online, or request assistance from coordinators. There is no packet pickup; shirts and merchandise are mailed to US addresses, and bibs are distributed on race day. Participants receive a medal, a towel or giveaway item, a digital training pack, online results, and a completion certificate. A virtual run option is also available for those unable to join a wave or preferring to run elsewhere.
