NYRR New York City
4 Miles
Run around Central Park at midnight with like-minded revelers, while fireworks explode overhead. The NYRR Midnight Run is typically populated with costumed and, presumably, not-entirely sober runners, but there is a competitive contingent as well, with prize money for the top three men and women.
Kick off the new year at the NYRR Midnight Run! Join the fun and
celebrate with music and dancing (starting at 10:00 p.m.) as 2017 comes
to a close.
With a countdown to midnight beginning at 11:59 p.m., the
four-mile run will start on the stroke of midnight, as will a
spectacular fireworks display to light up the night and the start of
2018.
Pre-Race Festival
The fun begins at 10:00 p.m. with a rockin’ dance party at Rumsey
Playfield for runners and their guests. Stop by our face painting
station to add a finishing touch to your festive look, then add your New
Year’s resolution to our Resolution Wall for all to see.
Location and Entry - View Map of the start area.
In compliance with NYPD security plans, the start area and Pre-Race
Festival, located at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, will be open to
registered runners and their guests only; these areas will not be open
to the general public. To access these areas, runners and their
guests must enter the park at West 72nd Street and Central Park West or
East 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue in order to go through security
screening. Runners attempting to use other park entrances will
experience delays in getting to the start and risk not starting the race
on time.
Each runner will be permitted one guest and receive a wristband at
number pickup to give to their guest. Guests must display a wristband
and runners must display a bib for entry into the park at 72nd Street
and into the Pre-Race Festival and start area.
The general public may still view fireworks from south of 69th Street
inside the park, and will be subject to security screening at any park
entrance south of the entrances at 72nd Street.
