🏃‍♂️ PPTC Cherry Tree 10 Miler and Relay

It's time to register for the 30th edition of the PPTC Cherry Tree 10 Miler and Relay, our signature mid-winter race! From 1996 to today, our 10 Mile Race and Relay has been a fixture on the Presidents' Day weekend running calendar.

🎽 Race Details

Individual or Relay: Run 10 miles on your own - 3 full loops of Prospect Park, or form a relay team of 3 runners, with each runner completing one 3.33-mile loop.
Race Souvenir: All entrants receive tech gloves as a race souvenir. In the interest of environmental protection and waste reduction, you can opt out from receiving the gloves.
Amenities: Race day amenities include baggage check and post-race refreshments including hot chocolate, bagels and fruit.
Awards: Cash prizes of $100, $50 and $25 to the top 3 overall finishers in the Male, Female and Non-binary categories. Awards go to top 3 Male, Female, and Non-binary age group finishers.

🚫 Course Restrictions

In the interest of safety, strollers and pets are prohibited from the course. Runners have up to 2.5 hours to complete the 10 miles - this is a pace of 15 minutes per mile. Scoring mats will remain in place until 12:30 pm.

🌦️ Weather and Cancellation Policy

Cherry Tree race day weather is extremely variable: over the years we've experienced warm sunny days, temperatures well below freezing, pouring rain and light snow. Any decision to modify or cancel the event due to weather conditions that could adversely impact roadway safety will be announced no later than the morning of the race.
