About
Memorial Day Freedom Run NYC is held on May 22, 2027, in New York, for the Memorial Day weekend. Four formats are offered: the half marathon (13.1 mi), a 10K (6.2 mi), a 5K (3.1 mi) and a one-mile family route. Start times are not listed in our records.
Holiday-weekend races draw a mixed field, from runners chasing a time to families walking the mile, which makes the start line more crowded than the entry numbers suggest. Line up according to the pace you will actually run, start your own watch on the gun rather than trusting the clock, and give the first half mile away — it is the cheapest time you will ever lose.
