    Race the City are races located in some of the area's most beautiful places to run. They are small in scale but with a technical t-shirt and finisher's medal plus real time chip timing and online tracking. The courses are simple. The Central Park course starts on East Drive (the inner loop for runners and cyclists only) goes up a short path to the famous 1.5 mile track around the Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, you complete one loop and return to the start point and continue north on East Drive in the runners lane. You turn left onto the 102nd Street Transverse, run to a turn-around point, and return to the finish on the same course. Water and Gatorade are provided at the Start/Finish and the U-Turn for access 3 times during your race. Age group awards and overall awards are handed out after the final wave. Pictures are available online shortly after the event.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
