Event Information
All three races start and finish at Owl Hollow Fields and run on Freshkills Park's closed park roads: wide, open roads through grassland with creek views and no traffic. The park is gently rolling rather than flat, with a few short rises and nothing steep.
5K: one loop of the park roads nearest the start, 5.0 km with about 45 m of climbing.
10K: one big loop of the whole park, out to the far side and back, 10.0 km with about 51 m of climbing.
Half Marathon: 21.1 km with about 73 m of climbing, running the park roads more than once on the same wide roads throughout.
Minimum ages: 5K 11, 10K 15, Half Marathon 17. Half Marathon cut-off 11:30.
Water stations: one on the 5K, two on the 10K and four on the Half Marathon.
