Go Nuts For Donuts 10 km Race Recap

I ran one of my favorite races in NYC! NYC Run’s Go Nuts For Donuts 10k on Governors Island.

I had never run a race on Governors Island and I always enjoy running in a new place. I met two of my friends at the ferry in lower Manhattan to get to the start line. It was a chilly morning, but the sun was shining and the views of the city were amazing.

The course was a two-loop circuit around the island, with a fair amount of turns. I enjoyed the scenery, nothing like seeing the Statue of Liberty and the buildings in lower Manhattan as we ran. The race was well-organized and had a festive vibe. I finished the race in 51 minutes, which sadly was about 8 minutes slower than my typical time, but I’m still recovering from an injury.

The best part of the race happened at the finish! Boxes and boxes of donuts. I prefer these to bagels at the finish line. I’ll definitely be doing this race again next year!
