Friends of 4 Parks 5K and 10K Race
The event offers a 5K and a 10K run through the four parks of the Historic Lower Grand Concourse: Joyce Kilmer, Franz Sigel, Macombs Dam, and Wendell Foster Park. The route passes the Lorelai Fountain, the Bronx Supreme Court, and Yankee Stadium. Start and finish take place at the track in Macombs Dam Park.
Distances:
- 5K one loop starting and finishing at Macombs Dam Park track
- 10K two loops; runners must cross the finish line at the end of each loop for accurate timing
Race operations include cyclists leading the field and NYPD support with street closures. Amenities listed for participants include a personalized race bib when registered at least three weeks in advance, a commemorative T‑shirt while supplies last, Waterloo sparkling water, finish line photos, live online results and same‑day finish line pictures.
Registration options mention a donation-only choice and an option to join or create a team. The 10K option requests participants maintain at least a 12 minute per mile pace. Age group results are published online by top three male and female in multiple age bands; no awards are indicated. There is no formal bag check, though a general monitored area for bags is provided and organizers are not responsible for lost items.
Proceeds benefit Friends of 4 Parks Alliance, a registered 501(c)(3) organization that supports community events in the lower Grand Concourse parks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
