On March 7, 2026, the NYCRUNS Frozen Bonsai 5K brings runners to Prospect Park in Brooklyn for a crisp winter loop on one of New York City’s classic racing routes. The event features a single, USATF-certified 5 km distance run on park drives that trace just under one full loop of the park before a final straight climb up Center Drive to the finish. The terrain is entirely paved and broadly flat with only gentle rollers, making it friendly for newer runners while still quick enough for those chasing a sharp early-season time. With race HQ and the festival area set in the Nethermead, amenities like bag check, on-course hydration, tech shirts and finisher medals give it the feel of a full-featured race day in a compact format.
