Friends of 4 Parks 5K and 10K 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 and a route that travels through parks and past local landmarks.
- 5K
- 10K
The course runs 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 are at the track in Macombs Dam Park. The 5K is one loop; the 10K is two loops and runners must cross the finish line at the end of each loop for accurate timing and splits. Cyclists will lead runners and NYPD will support with street closures.
Registration details include a commemorative T-shirt while supplies last and a personalized race bib for entries completed at least three weeks before the race. The 10K has a requested minimum pace of 12 minutes per mile. Amenities listed for the event include Waterloo sparkling water, finish line photos, live online/email/text results, and age-group listings online with top-three placements noted for male and female categories. Registration fees are non-refundable and proceeds support Friends of 4 Parks Alliance, a registered 501(c)(3). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
