Track Details
Runner Summary
A brand-new synthetic track at George Washington High School's Jacob K. Javits Athletic Field — one of the nicest facilities in Washington Heights. The Dashing Whippets running club has already hosted track meets here, which is a strong signal of legitimate access. A community visitor found the gate open with no one stopping entry. There's no official public access policy yet, so treat it as conditional: go, but be prepared to leave if a school event is taking over.
