Run the River 5K

Randall's Island Sports Foundation is hosting Run the River, a 5K run/walk, this Saturday, October 23. Participants will start and finish the race in Icahn Stadium, and the course itself goes through Randall’s Island’s waterfront pathways, with views of the East River and Manhattan skyline.
