This is one of my favorite summer races. The Oakley Women's Mini 10K is a women's only event which takes you up Central Park West and in to Central Park for a loop ending by Tavern on The Green. I like this race because the weather is usually nice and you can get a good turn out of friends when you pitch it as "an easy lap around the park". Little do they need to know it is a 6.2 mile lap, but I won't tell if you wont!
This is a medal earning race. Oakley medals are given to finishers. (sorry I only have a finishers picture from 2013, but they didn't change much year to year). At the finish line there are some photo opportunities, an Oakley fashion show, and a DJ. The swag for this race is a cotton tank but my friends and I seem to have issues with the sizing each year.
