Starts Sunday May 9th, 2021

Brooklyn, NY

Official Website

Description


There is no other like a mother! NYC moms are incredible people. Let's celebrate them by running 5K, 10K, or 13.1 Miles in one of the most beautiful urban parks in the world. Your senses will be blown away as Spring will be in full bloom.
The course requires athletes to run a marked course on Prospect Park's main loop, four loops for the half, two loops for the 10K, and one loop for the 5K. Support stations with bottled water and gel packs will be available for you to "grab and go". These will not be handed to you in order to minimize contact. The race start will be organized into waves and there will not be an awards ceremony in order to minimize the number of persons congregating in any one area. Wave start times will be announced in the coming weeks. Join us for what has become a really beautiful way to show what motherhood means to you. VIDEO

The course is on a paved 3.39-mile loop that is car-free and goes near the perimeter of the entire park.  Runners will have a specific runner's lane that is marked.  There are bikes in a separate lane that runners must avoid.  There are also pedestrians of all ages that may enter the runner's lane.  All athletes must give them the right of way.

TIMING

Even though each athlete's start time does not begin until they cross the start line, we suggest that the fastest runners (sub 7-minute mile) try to start at the front.  This will be organized at the time of the race start. 

FINISH Time and SPLITS are posted real-time online for anyone to see.  Check the results page on our web site for more information.

You can also have your race tracked throughout the event so that your fans can follow you and send you cheers.  You will need to download the RACE JOY APP and use your phone during the race.  Additionally, if you wear headphones, you will get auditory course guidance, mile marker announcements, pace times, and hear the cheers of your fans.  To use RACE JOY go HERE
