The Abbott Dash to the Finish Line 5K takes you through Midtown Manhattan before finishing at the iconic TCS New York City Marathon finish line in Central Park—giving you that famous finish line feeling without the full 26.2 miles. Held the day before the marathon, it's a perfect shakeout run for marathoners or a fun standalone race for anyone who wants to experience the energy of marathon weekend. The course is scored and counts toward NYRR's 9+1 program, making it both a competitive and practical choice for local runners.
