On 14 February 2026, the NYCRUNS Frozen Bonsai 5K returns as part of NYCRUNS’ winter race series, with runners gathering in Prospect Park for a 5 km loop that’s just under one full circuit of the park. The finish is dramatic: a final uphill push on Center Drive into the Festival Area located in the Nethermead. Athlete arrival and bib pickup begin early (around 7:00 AM) and the race start is at 9:00 AM. The event uses pace-based corrals and includes amenities like gear check, hydration stations, post-race refreshments, and a finisher medal and tech shirt. It offers a peaceful yet invigorating cold-weather run, combining the serenity of winter with community spirit.
