Running track reopening in Central Park on Wednesday

New York runners will get an updated space for their jogs at Central Park starting Wednesday.

The park will reopen its running track at the Reservoir following a yearlong renovation.

The new terrain includes a redesigned curb system, after it suffered chronic erosion and drainage issues because of wear and tear.

The 1.58-mile track will be renamed the Stephanie and Fred Shuman Running Track, in honor of the donors who paid for the repairs and long-term maintenance.
