Run the Bronx

Run the Bronx is a charity race held in the Bronx, New York, on May 1, 2027. Three distances are offered on a city course through the borough: a 2-mile (3.2 km) run, a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 10K (6.2 miles). No start times or elevation figures are listed. The event pairs the running with support for a community cause.

Having a 2-mile option alongside the 5K and 10K is unusual and genuinely useful, since it gives beginners and families something shorter than the standard entry distance. Runners with a summer goal can use the 10K as an early-season effort test. City streets mean plenty of turns, so run by effort in the first mile instead of watching your pace jump around, and let it settle once you find open road.
