Set for Saturday, November 15, 2025, this Liberty State Park–based run festival offers stunning paved courses with spectacular Manhattan skyline views just across the Hudson River.
Race Format & Course Highlights
- Three distances: Half Marathon (6.55-mile out-and-back loop, 10:00 AM start), 10K, and 5K (both at 10:15 AM).
- The looped layout guarantees maximum fan visibility—each pass of the start/finish offers encore cheers.
- Fully-supported with three aid stations, offering water, Gatorade, and gels, plus trash collection, volunteer support, and live chip timing.
Why It’s Unique
The combination of dramatic riverfront views, looped fan-friendly design, and comprehensive race-day tech—live tracking, streaming finish line video, and free photos—makes this more than a race; it’s a festival experience. Expect a festive awards ceremony with music, food, beverages, and distinctive “Golden Drum Stick” trophies for top overall results and age-group medals.
Swag & Extras
Participants receive a technical T-shirt, a large die-cast finisher medal, and benefits like finish-line photography, live timing, and streamlined digital tracking.
Why It Stands Out
This event marries performance with passion—whether you’re chasing a half-marathon PR or taking in the autumn skyline, you’ll be cheered every loop, enjoy seamless tech support, and cross the finish line to fanfare. Limited registration is expected—early sign-ups are advised.
