NYC Cupcake Run [Oct 2015]


NYC Cupcake Run [Oct 17, 2015]

2015 NYC Cupcake Run



The NYC Cupcake Run is a challenge in which participants aim to complete a 5 kilometer (3.1 mile) run while stopping to eat three cupcakes at checkpoints throughout the course. This one-of-a-kind New York City experience will take place in Astoria Park on 
Saturday, October 17th, 2015 and is open to people of all ages. You can register here.
In a food obsessed metropolis where people are always on the run, putting together an event which pays tribute to some of the city’s defining characteristics seemed like a no-brainer. So grab your appetite and running shoes & join us for our 2nd annual event!
Please note that a portion of the proceeds from the race will benefit New York Cares. You can learn more about the organization here.


For more information about the race, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
