Last Saturday, Randall's Island Park Alliance partnered with Riverkeeper to host the 6th annual Run the River 5K to support efforts to protect, maintain, and restore the shorelines and wetlands at the park. The crisp fall weather created great conditions for the run, which took runners along the Island's waterfront pathways and began and ended in the iconic Icahn Stadium.
Hundreds of runners, family members, and volunteers turned out to support Randall's Island Park Alliance, enjoy the beautiful race course, Children's Fun Run, Post-Race party, and the awards ceremony. An enjoyable run on a gorgeous course, for a well-deserving cause-a Saturday well-spent.
