About the race
The Friends of 4 Parks event on September 27, 2026 is a community run/walk held at Macombs Dam Park in the Bronx, New York. The event offers two distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
The course runs through the four parks of the Historic Lower Grand Concourse: Joyce Kilmer, Franz Sigel, Macombs Dam, and Wendell Foster, and passes local landmarks including the Lorelai Fountain, the Bronx Supreme Court, and Yankee Stadium. The 5K is one loop and the 10K is two loops; runners must cross the finish line at the end of each loop to receive accurate finish times and splits.
Registration includes a commemorative T-shirt while supplies last, and registrants who sign up at least three weeks before the event receive a personalized race bib. The 10K option requires participants to maintain at least a 12 minute per mile pace. Race staff and volunteers provide bag monitoring but the organizers are not responsible for lost or misplaced items.
Runners are led by cyclists and the event is supported by NYPD street closures. Results are available live online and by email or text, and same-day finish line photos are provided. Age group results list the top three male and female finishers in multiple age brackets; these listings are posted online. Proceeds benefit Friends of 4 Parks Alliance, a registered 501(c)(3) organization. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
