Run the 2027 United Airlines NYC Half for Pancreatic Cancer Research and Patient Financial Aid!
Experience the “One to Run”—the iconic United Airlines NYC Half! Join the Project Purple team for an unforgettable 13.1-mile journey through the heart of New York City. From the start in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park to the hills of Central Park, this race offers a rare opportunity to run through an empty Times Square and past some of the world’s most famous landmarks.
