Randall’s Island Park Alliance (RIPA) hosted the Run the River 5K, an annual race that raises funds to protect the waterways, wetlands, and recreational areas of Randall’s Island Park. This year, RIPA partnered with the Queens Library and Riverkeeper to promote conservation efforts and active and healthy lifestyles for New Yorkers in the Park’s surrounding neighborhoods.

The race featured a scenic, certified 5K race course, chip-timed race results, post race party, and children’s fun run. Serious athletes and leisure joggers gathered at the Icahn Stadium, a world class track & field facility, on a beautiful Saturday morning to register for the event.
