About the race
The Friends of Four Parks Run/Walk is a community road race held on the Lower Grand Concourse in the Bronx. The course passes through the four parks of the Historic Lower Grand Concourse - Joyce Kilmer, Franz Sigel, Macombs Dam, and Wendell Foster Park - and goes by the Lorelai Fountain, the Bronx Supreme Court, and Yankee Stadium. The start and finish are at the track in Macombs Dam Park.
Distances offered:
- 5K - one loop of the course
- 10K - two loops; runners must cross the finish line for both loops to receive accurate times and splits
The race is supported by lead cyclists and NYPD street closures. Amenities include personalized race bibs for those registered at least three weeks in advance, a commemorative T-shirt while supplies last, Waterloo sparkling water, finish-line photos, and live results. Age-group placings for the top three male and female finishers are listed online; no awards are given. There is no formal bag check; a general area is provided and monitored by volunteers, but organizers are not responsible for lost or misplaced items.
Bib pickup is handled by event staff on race morning and a self-lookup area is available for bib numbers. Proceeds support Friends of 4 Parks Alliance, a registered 501(c)(3) that promotes community events in the local parks of the Lower Grand Concourse.
