8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. | At the Garden
Celebrate the end of Climate Week NYC with NYBG’s second annual 5K Fun Run! This 3.1-mile course takes you past some of the Garden’s most gorgeous scenery, including the Maureen K. Chilton Azalea Garden and the Judy and Michael Steinhardt Maple Collection, plus historic landmarks like the Lillian and Amy Goldman Stone Mill, Mertz Building, and the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Your participation directly supports our work here and around the world to protect biodiversity and develop plant-based solutions to climate change.
New this year!
- New Course! An updated course design guides you through new paths and collections.
- Finish Line Clock. While this event is not timed, the course is equipped with timing clocks for those who wish to track their success.
Your guests can cheer you on as you pass by the Visitor Center, with the purchase of an All-Garden Pass. After your run, join us on Daffodil Hill for festivities including meet-and-greets with Boogie Down Bronx Run Club and NYBG experts to learn about their important work across a range of disciplines. And don’t forget to grab your NYBG 5K Fun Run T-shirt before you set off to enjoy the rest of your day at the Garden! This event is rain or shine. Participants must be ages 13+.
