Run for One

The Run as One 4M, presented by JPMorgan Chase, is a 4-mile NYRR race held in Central Park each April. It serves as a fundraiser for lung cancer research and attracts a substantial field, with over 9,000 finishers in a recent year. The race qualifies for NYRR’s 9+1 program and is a scored club-points event. This attracts both team runners focused on standings and recreational runners using it for spring fitness. A 1.4-mile Health Walk is available for those who prefer a shorter option. The course begins on East Drive near East 68th Street, proceeds north, crosses at 102nd Street, then heads south on West Drive, finishing on the 72nd Street Transverse. Top finishers compete for equal prize money across men's, women's, and nonbinary categories, with awards presented on-site for the top three overall. The event also features a Run as One Lung Health Village. Post-race amenities include water, apples, and pretzels.
