Ring in the new year with this unique 4-mile race that starts at 11:59 p.m. on New Year's Eve and finishes after midnight, making it your first race of 2026. The course loops through Central Park, and you'll cross the finish line as part of the countdown celebration. This is the final race that counts toward the 2025 9+1 program for guaranteed NYC Marathon entry, so make sure your NYRR membership is current if you're chasing that goal. All finishers get a New Balance long-sleeve tech shirt.
