Distance: 9.9 km from New YorkSat, Aug 01, 2026 at 8:30 AMSee full details
The pulse of the running world can be felt in Central Park where you and hundreds of athletes from around the world will compete. To race in Central Park is breathtaking not only because of the great course but also because of what this place means to runners from all over the world. This is the largest and most important public backyard (park) in NYC with 843 acres of trees, meadows, paths, and attractions. It’s always beautiful and in the middle of the summer, it’s the place to be. The course is perfect for you, marked at every mile and turn, supported with water stations that have ice cold water and Gatorade. Join us afterward for a fun awards ceremony, NYC’s best bagels!

Arizona runners don't stop running as the temperatures rise
we just get started a little earlier!
Why run in just one event when you can save so much by registering
for the remaining 6 events!
Get points for every event you complete, with extra points being awarded based on your age group and overall finish.
At the end of the series the top 100 point earners, plus all participants that complete at least 4 of the 6 remaining series events,
will be entered into our Arizona Sunrise Series Prize Drawing.
Along with great prizes, three people will walk away with a $500 gift card
(which we suggest you use to get out of the Phoenix heat!)
Overall awards will be given out at the end of the series on August 8th.
