Runner Summary

A beloved Bronx institution and genuine hidden gem. Built on the floor of the old Williamsbridge Reservoir, the oval's unique below-grade setting creates a quiet, enclosed atmosphere that regular users find deeply satisfying. Free, open daily, and lit until 10 pm — the only real trade-off is the 4-lane layout.
