TEF Tenafly 5K Run and Dog Walk
The TEF Tenafly 5K Run and Dog Walk takes place on June 7, 2026. This event is the 28th edition and is held at Tenafly Middle School in Tenafly, New Jersey. The 5K Run is USATF sanctioned.
Event distances and youth races include:
- 5K Run and 5K Dog Walk, 5 kilometers
- JCC 1-Mile Fun Run, 1 mile
- Tiger Cub Races, short sprints by age group
The 5K Run offers awards by clock time in multiple categories for male and female finishers: top 3 overall, top Tenafly resident, top 3 in specified age groups, top 3 finishers in each Tenafly grade K through 12, top 3 youth non-Tenafly in several age brackets, top 3 Tenafly public school staff, and top 3 stroller trot runners. Participants receive only the highest award for which they are eligible.
The Dog Walk follows the same course as the 5K. Dogs must be kept on a leash on school property; extended or hands-free leashes are prohibited and owners must clean up after their dogs. The Dog Walk also presents awards to the top three male and female finishers. The Dog Parade includes category trophies and participation medals for all dogs. Tiger Cub participants receive medals and the JCC Fun Run is untimed and open to all ages; it is free for those already registered in another event.
Proceeds support the Tenafly Educational Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that funds teacher-initiated programs in Tenafly public schools. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
