A 5K run where the hackathon happens on the move.

For this event, we’re taking that literally. End New York Tech Week in style with a 5k, Sunday morning.

Bring your running shoes and headphones! This is literally a hackathon you do while also running a 5k.

We will meet at 62 Orchard St Second Floor, New York, NY.
From there, we’ll run a 5K , and build while we run. **All paces are welcome. **
