Start & Finish
This course travels north from the start pens, which means you do not ride through the start/finish banner until the end of the first lap in an event. Therefore, we’ve created two Strava forward segments: one beginning just after you exit the pens to cover your first event lap, and the other beginning at the start/finish banner for additional laps and free rides.
The main start/finish banner is the finish line for this route.

Bike Selection
Aero is everything here, since the climbs aren’t long or steep enough for a pure climber to give you a significant advantage. See Fastest Frames and Wheels at Each Zwift Level >

Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
Every inch of this route is taken from real-world GPS data, so riders acquainted with Central Park will find these roads familiar. The course’s rolling profile is rarely flat or straight, and a few punchy pitches including Harlem Hill to the north mean you must stay vigilant when racing. Along the way don’t miss the fall colors and many sights of Central Park: hot dog vendors, pedestrians, wildlife, water features, and of course the NYC skyline.
