Treat yourself to a running tour around Governors Island, and we'll treat you to a well-deserved post-finish ice cream (or ice pop, for those who so choose). Talk about a perfect summer day!
Entry to the NYCRUNS Manhattan Ice Cream Social 5K includes ferry rides for you and your guests, your race entry, a tech shirt, and post-race eats (including the aforementioned chilly treat!).
Enjoy a picturesque tour of Governors Island with amazing views of New York Harbor and the greatest city in the world! The 5K makes one loop of the island. All NYCRUNS courses are USATF-certified.
Take the Governors Island Ferry located at the Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street in Manhattan. There's no charge to ride the ferry (for runners and guests) on race morning. Ferries run on the half hour. Please take either the 7:00 AM or 7:30 AM ferry to ensure a timely arrival at the start. Runners should be on line at least 15 minutes prior to ferry departure time.
Mass transit is your best option to get to the ferry. Via subway, take the 4/5 to Bowling Green, the R to Whitehall Street, the J to Broad Street, or the 1 to South Ferry. Via bus, take the M15 to South Street/Whitehall Street. There's also a Citi Bike station at South Street/Whitehall Street. Please check MTA Trip Planner for up-to-date and detailed mass transit directions.
See chart below. NYCRUNS members receive a 20% discount on this race, race withdrawal rights, and other perks. You can become a member when you check out. Race Credit (combined with the member discount) may be used to pay for up to 50% or $40 (whichever is greater) off the original race entry price. Race day registration (if available) is online only.
