Friends of 4 Parks 5K and 10K Race

The Friends of 4 Parks 5K and 10K Race is held annually at Macombs Dam Park in the Bronx, New York. Participants run through the four historic parks along the Lower Grand Concourse—Joyce Kilmer, Franz Sigel, Macombs Dam, and Wendell Foster Park—passing landmarks like the Lorelai Fountain, Bronx Supreme Court, and Yankee Stadium. The 5K course is one loop, while the 10K requires two loops with finish line timing for each.

The event offers personalized race bibs, commemorative T-shirts, finish line photos, and age group results. Proceeds benefit the Friends of 4 Parks Alliance, supporting community events in local parks. The race is supported by NYPD and features street closures for safety.
