Paterson Great Falls 5k Race
Participants in this event cover a 5k distance on an official course located in Paterson, New Jersey. The route serves as a running and walking path through several of the city's historic and local landmarks. The course begins near the Paterson Great Falls and continues past the Lou Costello statue and the Paterson Museum.
The path also leads participants by Hinchliffe Stadium and Veteran's Park. The final segments of the race involve running through Pennington Park before returning toward the Paterson Great Falls to reach the finish line. Registration is open for various participation goals, ranging from performance tracking to casual completion with others.
This event functions as a fundraiser for the nonprofit organization Our Way to H.O.P.E. Financial proceeds from the registrations and donations are used to purchase book bags and supplies for local initiatives, including a back-to-school event and a holiday event for children in Paterson and Elmwood Park. Packet pick-up and same-day registration are conducted at the Paterson Museum on the morning of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
