Crotona Park Run

Crotona Park Run is held on May 8, 2027, in the Bronx, New York. A single 5K (3.1 mi) is on the program, run inside one of the city's large public parks on grass and tree-lined paths. Start times are not listed in our records.

A 5K on grass runs slower than the same distance on asphalt — expect to give up twenty to thirty seconds a mile and judge the race on effort rather than on the watch. Softer ground is also easier on the legs, which makes a park 5K a sensible race to slot into a longer build-up without disturbing it.
