Dyckman Street is the spine of Inwood — Dominican Manhattan's main commercial strip — and closing it on a Saturday morning for a 5K puts the neighbourhood on its own street. The course runs at the foot of Inwood Hill Park, the last stretch of old forest and salt marsh left on the island. It is a short race in a part of Manhattan that most citywide listings never reach, and the A train drops you two blocks from the start.
What to expect
A road 5K on closed streets around Seaman Avenue and Dyckman Street, running through the morning under a city race permit. Registration terms and any entry fee are set by the organizer rather than the permit record. Streets in the closure area are shut to traffic for the window.
