NYBG 5K Fun Run

Celebrate the end of Climate Week NYC with NYBG’s second annual 5K Fun Run! This scenic 3.1-mile road and trail course takes runners through some of the Garden’s most gorgeous scenery, including the historic Thain Family Forest, one of New York City’s largest remaining old-growth forests, as well as the Judy and Michael Steinhardt Maple Collection. Along the way, participants will pass historic landmarks such as the Lillian and Amy Goldman Stone Mill, Mertz Building, and the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Your participation directly supports NYBG’s work here and around the world to protect biodiversity and develop plant-based solutions to climate change.

Nurturing Nature

Botanical gardens are a major untapped resource in adaptation and mitigation planning in the face of climate change. They play a crucial role in in-situ and ex-situ conservation, research, and education, serving as living repositories of plant diversity, centers for scientific study and species preservation, and public spaces that raise awareness about environmental issues and the importance of plant life in ecosystem health and climate resilience. The Nurturing Nature Initiative responds to urgent global environmental challenges—climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation—by activating plant-forward solutions rooted in science, community, and collaboration for the establishment of long-term solutions.
