The Van Cortlandt Track Club: Cross Country 5k Summer Series
If you’re looking for a true cross country racing experience, historic Van Cortlandt Park is number one in NYC for a good reason. The classic Tortoise and Hare 5k course will have you punching your way up those hills and flying down the other side. Come have fun in a safe, family friendly atmosphere where you’ll not only be surrounded by lovely people but many experienced racers as well.
It was such hit last year, we are bringing back the kids races! For the last three races we will have kids races at 7:10pm. Sign up is a must, but racing is free!
