Shakeout runs

1. Enter the reservoir track near East 90th Street.
2. Follow the posted running direction around the reservoir.
3. Finish at the same entrance; add your approach walk separately.

A complete loop is 2.54 km. Follow posted access and direction; race-week restrictions may affect your approach.

1. Join the bridle path near West 90th Street.
2. Take the loop around the reservoir, staying on the lower bridle path.
3. Return to the same entrance.

This is the 1.66-mile reservoir bridle loop, not the longer full bridle-path network. Avoid muddy sections.

1. Start at Pier 84 near West 44th Street.
2. Follow the pedestrian esplanade south toward Chelsea Piers, keeping clear of the cycle lane.
3. Turn after half your chosen time, or at Chelsea Piers if sooner, and return the same way.

The mapped stretch is about 2.4 km each way. Repeat part of the route if you want more time. Use signed pedestrian paths and crossings; closures may require an earlier turnaround.

1. Start on the pedestrian greenway at the south end of Pier 1.
2. Follow the pedestrian greenway south to Pier 6.
3. Turn halfway through your chosen time, or at Pier 6 if sooner, and return on the same path.

Pier 1 to Pier 6 is about 1.2 km each way on this mapped route. Repeat a section for a longer run. Slow down around visitors and crossings; check current park notices.

1. Use the pedestrian entrance at Tillary Street and Boerum Place.
2. Cross on the pedestrian promenade toward Manhattan.
3. From City Hall, follow legal pedestrian crossings south along Broadway toward Battery Park.

Bridge incline, crowds and traffic lights make this a sightseeing option, not a guaranteed 20-minute shakeout. Open directions and follow current access signs.
