NYRR Midnight Run 2021
Celebrate New Year's Eve at the NYRR Midnight Run.
Due to the ongoing drought, firework shows will not take place in Central Park or Prospect Park this year. See below for details.
There's more than one way to have fun on New Year's Eve and taking part in the annual NYRR Midnight Run is one!
In past years, approximately 4,000 runners and even more spectators have attended this event, many donning costumes, and in good cheer.
There's also music and dancing for everyone leading up to the race which kicks off at 11:59 PM.
The 4-mile race is typically accompanied by a fireworks show from Bow Bridge to light up the sky. However, due to the drought this year the light show will instead consist of 500 drones that display images related to running (weather permitting) to commemorate the end of run. The show will most likely only be visible if you are within the event’s “frozen zone,” which is on the 72nd Street Transverse, south of Bethesda Fountain. Please note that this area will only be open to registered runners and one guest per participant.
