The 2026 NYRR Summer Speed Series Community Night brings together participants from free NYRR programs for a night of competition at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island. Come learn more about track and field events on a state-of-the-art 400-meter Mondo track where some of the fastest professional athletes in the world have hit their PR’s!
Participation at this meet is by invitation only, based on participation in Striders, Run for the Future, and Open Run programs.
When you run with NYRR, you do more than compete in a world-class race—your support and participation play a role in fulfilling our vision to build healthier lives and stronger communities through the transformative power of running, and benefit NYRR’s free youth and community programs, including Rising New York Road Runners, NYRR Striders, Open Run, and more.

Accepted NYRR Race Free participants will receive up to 6 complimentary entries to our weekly races and the opportunity to access training for free.
The 2026 application period is now closed. We invite you to apply for the 2027 NYRR Race Free program, which is expected to open in October 2026. Please visit the NYRR Race Free page for updates in September.
