Course de la grosse Pomme

Course de la grosse Pomme is held in New York, New York, on March 27, 2027. Three distances are on the program: a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K and a 5K, with the range deliberately wide enough to suit beginners and experienced runners alike. The route passes through several of the city's landmark neighborhoods, giving participants a look at its street life and skyline.

Picking between the three comes down to how much running you already do. A 5K asks for about a month of preparation, a 10K for six to eight weeks with one weekly tempo run, and the half marathon for a twelve-week build with a long run that climbs toward eleven or twelve miles. City racing has its own rhythm: crowded early miles, tight turns and a temptation to chase people who start too fast. Settle into your own pace by the first mile and let the surroundings do the rest.
