New York City is one of the world’s most iconic urban running destinations, blending legendary park loops, waterfront paths, and an unmatched fitness culture. Runners train on the famous 10 km loop of Central Park, cruise car-free miles along the Hudson River Park Greenway, or explore scenic routes in Prospect Park. Track workouts are available at facilities like Randall's Island Park, widely used by clubs and collegiate athletes. The city’s strong running culture includes daily group runs, specialty run stores, yoga studios, recovery centers, and year-round races — from 5Ks to the world-famous New York City Marathon.
