About the Vyshyvanka Run NYC 2026
The course runs through Riverside Park, starting near the Warsaw Ghetto Memorial at the edge of the park. The route follows a pattern of larger loops with one shorter one woven in, keeping you in the park the whole way. The surroundings are green and shaded, with the park open on one side toward the river.
Street parking is available along the park and on Broadway, but plan to walk a stretch from wherever you land. Arriving early gives time to check in and get your bib sorted before the run begins. The race is tied to Ukrainian Independence Day, and many participants come dressed in traditional embroidered vyshyvankas.
