The Course and Start Times
The race uses paved roads through Liberty State Park, with views of the Manhattan skyline across the harbor. The organizers describe the course as spectator friendly, with chances to cheer near the start and finish and at the turnaround points.
The posted start times, which the organizers call the final approved times, are 9:30 a.m. for the half marathon, 9:40 a.m. for the 10K and 9:45 a.m. for the 5K. Those times can shift slightly if the park requires it. Plan to arrive about 30 minutes before your start, ready to run. If you have not received a bib, follow the instructions from event staff at check-in.
If you want more context for the venue, our Liberty State Park guide covers parking, the playground, the ferry and how to get around the park.
Aid Stations, Awards and What You Get
Three aid stations will have water, Gatorade and energy gels. Water and Gatorade are served in paper cups, and the organizers say volunteers and trash bins will be along the course.
The in-person package includes a technical T-shirt, a die-cast finisher medal, live timing and tracking, a finish-line livestream, professional photos and finisher videos, plus post-race food, drinks, music and an awards ceremony. Photos and videos are expected to go up within about two hours after the event ends.
Overall awards go to the top 3 male and top 3 female finishers, including the Golden Drum Stick. Age group awards go to the top 3 male and top 3 female finishers in each group: 13 and under, 14 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 and over.
