Show off your favorite old-school running gear and take a run down memory lane at the NYRR Retro 4-Miler. This throwback-themed race happens in the perfect spot—Central Park—where countless iconic moments in running history have occurred, including the first New York City Marathon, the Crazylegs Mini Marathon (now the Mastercard® New York Mini 10K), and more. Come join the fun along with other runners getting into the retro-running spirit and as they sport their favorite decade!
