NYCRUNS Frozen Penguin Half Marathon & 5K

We like to joke that the weather in NYC this time of year is fit for penguins, but the truth is, it’s also fit for runners of all levels. Snag a new 5K or Half Marathon PR (the cold should motivate you!) to start the year! This race in Central Park is calling your name, Chilly Willy!

The half marathon begins on West Drive near 96th Street, completing two and a half loops of the park across 72nd Street and up Harlem Hill before finishing on the 102nd Street transverse. The 5K begins a bit further south and finishes in the same spot.
