Upcoming Races

Here's a look at some races in and around the area. Some, like the New Jersey Marathon/Half, have already closed (so something to keep in mind for next year). Still don't have confirmation on the Cinco de May 5K, though I'm fairly sure it is being run on Sunday, May 4 (trying to get more details, so if anyone's got them, please let me know.). Recurring races were made in a previous post, so they aren't listed here.

May 3: Brooklyn Half Marathon (Very flat until the final loop of Prospect Park)

May 3: Long Island Festival of Races 5K

May 4: Long Island Marathon/Half

May 4: Cinco de Mayo 5K, Prospect Park (Still need confirmation!)

May 4: New Jersey Marathon/Half

May 10: Jersey City 10K (Very flat 10K, just across the river from Manhattan)
May 10: Long Island Greenbelt Run (A well-supported trail run, either 25K or 50K)

May 11: NYRR Mother’s Day 4M/10M (The 10M is women-only)

May 17: Healthy Kidney 10K (One of the few 10Ks in Central Park put on by NYRR - remember when the 10K distance used to the *the* race?)

May 18: NYPD Memorial 5K Run

May 18: Harbor Fitness 5K Run (Bay Ridge)

May 18: Forest Park 4 Mile Trail Run (Queens)

May 18: Gilda’s Run 15K

May 20: AHA Wall Street Run (This 5K race is for a great cause. That said, don't expect to run it for time - it's overcrowded, may have the course shortened for various security reasons, and last year featured a water stop in small side street, which created a massive bottleneck. On the flip side, you get a chance to trample the Wall Street folk who think it's a bright idea to walk in the middle of ongoing foot traffic).

June 1: Riverdale Ramble 10K (Pick a race in the Bronx ...)

June 1: Kenneth Dolan 5K (... or in Prospect Park)

There are likely more area races which I haven't come across - please append them to this list or send me an e-mail and I'll update and repost. Happy racing!
