2023 UN Day Race
Run, bike, or walk with us — as we celebrate the 78th anniversary of the United Nations (October 24th is UN Day) — and recognize its tireless efforts to create a world in which everyone thrives in peace, dignity, and equality on a healthy planet. This year’s theme will be Gender Equality.
The event is both virtual and in-person, which means you may complete it at any time before October 21st, anywhere in the world, or you can meet in person on October 21st at 11AM in Central Park. You can either run, walk, or bike, and choose between two distances: 5K and 10K.
Don’t forget to share a photo of yourself on social media completing the race, using the hashtags #UNDay, #USAforUN, and #UNDayRace!
Complete your run virtually anytime before October 21, 2023. The in-person event will take place on October 21, 2023 at 11 a.m. in Central Park, meeting at the Engineers' Gate entrance and utilizing the reservoir loop.
