NYCRUNS Lousy T-Shirt Race 2026

Prospect Park in Brooklyn hosts the NYCRUNS Lousy T-Shirt Race, an event where the theme is in the name. This evening run benefits the Prospect Park Alliance, adding community spirit to its charm. It's about embracing the spirit of the 'lousy' tee, not personal bests. As the sun sets, runners gather for a 7:00 PM start, showing off their most awful attire for this evening run through Prospect Park. The focus is on the festive, lighthearted atmosphere rather than difficult terrain. It's a chance to race, laugh, and win bragging rights for the least impressive shirt in the borough.
