Hello,
On behalf of Randall’s Island Sports Foundation (RISF) I would like to inform your members that RISF’s Young Professionals Council will be hosting a 5K road race followed by races for children and a party for all. The race is called the “Run the River 5K,” and will take place Saturday, October 23rd at 10:00 AM (rain or shine) on Randall’s Island, New York. Start and finish will be within Icahn Stadium, which is a world class facility that meets International Amateur Athletic Federation specifications for track and field events, including Olympic training and trials. The course will take runners outside Icahn Stadium along the island’s beautiful waterfront pathways and then return runners to the stadium where they can make a grand finish on the 400-meter Mondo surface running track with dramatic views of the East River and Manhattan skyline in the distance. After the adults 5K there will be a party as well as races for children. We cordially invite all of your members to participate in what will be an extremely fun race to benefit Randall’s Island. Below is the registration link. All net proceeds will benefit RISF. We look forward to seeing you on race day!
