A little weekend “rock” climbing landed the lucky New York couple at left a dazzling $25,000 diamond engagement ring Saturday.

John Armenio, 31, of Westbury, LI, and Alanna Pithis, 29, of Astoria, Queens, won the 2017 Race for the Ring, a scavenger hunt that took place in a one-mile radius of the World Trade Center’s Oculus.

At the end of the two-hour game, the 150 competing couples were told to return to the lower Manhattan mall’s main floor to find out who captured the top prize.

London Jewelers and TWO by London hosted the event, where couples score points by locating hotspots via GPS, completing assorted tasks and answering trivia questions.

And the prizes for runners-up were none-too-shabby, including a Caribbean honeymoon vacation and matching Tag Heuer watches.
