Friends of Four Parks 5K and 10K Run/Walk
The event is a community 5K and 10K run/walk that uses the Lower Grand Concourse park network in the Bronx. Both distances start and finish at the track in Macombs Dam Park and run through the four parks on the route: Joyce Kilmer, Franz Sigel, Macombs Dam, and Wendell Foster. The course passes local landmarks including the Lorelai Fountain, the Bronx Supreme Court, and Yankee Stadium. Runners are accompanied by lead cyclists and the event operates with NYPD support and street closures.
Distances offered:
- 5K: one loop through the four parks
- 10K: two loops; must cross the finish line both loops for accurate timing
Event amenities include a personalized race bib for registrations completed three weeks in advance, a commemorative T-shirt while supplies last, Waterloo sparkling water, finish line photos, live online or text results, and same-day finish line video and pictures. There is no official bag check; a monitored general area is provided but the organizers are not responsible for lost or misplaced items. Proceeds support Friends of 4 Parks Alliance, a registered 501(c)(3) organization that promotes community events in the local parks of the lower Grand Concourse.
