Run Prospect Park’s Only Nighttime Race on New Year’s Eve

The only nighttime race in Prospect Park all year is taking place on new year’s eve right before the fireworks go off and the ball drops.

The 5K will kick off at Prospect Park West and 9th Street at 11:15 p.m. on, of course, December 31. You’ll be able to run around the park, see it in a new light or lack thereof and then walk (or jog) to Grand Army Plaza to celebrate and watch the fireworks go off.

Registration for the race costs $25 through December 23 and rises from then. You can sign up here. Packet pick-up begins at 10:15 p.m. at 9th Street inside the Park entrance.
