NYCRUNS Squirrel Stampede 10K

Governors Island - Governors Island - Colonels Row Green
Sometimes running in New York City can be nuts. That’s good for squirrels, but not so great for runners. Leave the craziness behind and join us for the 7th running of the NYCRUNS Squirrel Stampede 10K. Set on Governors Island (which was originally called Nutten Island by the Dutch way back in the 1600s for its abundance of nut trees), it’s still NYC’s best keep secret (the Island, not the nuts). Your entry includes ferry rides for you and your family/friends, your race-entry, an official race shirt, and some tasty post-race eats (no nuts)!
