A Stroll In Central Park 12-Hour Endurance Run

There’s nothing better than a timed ultra for showing runners what they can accomplish. For its third year A Stroll in Central Park 12-Hour Endurance Run will provide runners a chance to test their medal against the clock.

Race Information

The course is on FLAT asphalt, 1.03 miles per loop. The loop is inside a park where there are several restrooms available. Central Park is open, so expect inquisitive looks and comment from passers-by.

There are some lights along the path after dark, but we recommend bringing a head lamp to wear once the sun goes down. 

Aid and Lap Counting

There is one aid station with drinks, cold and hot food, cookies, candy and anything else we can think of. Pizza is served at around noon and soup and grilled cheese sandwiches later in the day. 

Lap Counting is done by volunteers who are trained to count laps carefully. We don’t have snazzy timing gizmos, but smart and dedicated volunteers can make mistakes. If we miss a lap, we’ll take your word for it. We’ll do the math and fractions of a mile will be rounded to the closest tenth mile.

There is plenty of parking close to the course and there is also ample room for chairs and other self-support items. 

Course
