2024 UN Day Race
Run, bike, or walk with us — as we celebrate the 79th 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 your run virtually anytime before October 26th, anywhere in the world — or you can meet in person on October 26th at 11AM. New Meetup Location: the Central Park meetup is now located at the park entrance at the corner of East 60th Street and 5th Avenue. You can either run, walk, or bike, and choose between two distances: 5K and 10K.
The event is sponsored by the United Nations Association of New York and the remaining proceeds will go to supporting their work and mission. Please visit the many pages of this website for more information about UNA-NYC and the many events we host yearly.
We are excited that the PRunners, a group of ambassadors and senior UN staff united by their love of running, will once again join our run.
* Please note: we are gauging interest in race medals for next year, but they will not be provided this year.
You have the option to purchase a unique UN Day Race Shirt during registration. This will be the only option to get this one-of-a-kind shirt, so don't forget to select your size when registering! And — registration before October 11 is best for getting your shirt on time.
