The 48th annual Run the Bronx event is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2026, at Bronx Community College, offering 10K, 5K and 2-mile walk distances with early registration priced at $30 until April 25, 2026.

These fixed dates and locations highlight how established Bronx facilities sustain organised running throughout the year. Runners and walkers depend on the borough’s public parks and college grounds to host both paid races and no-cost community sessions without requiring new construction.

Bronx Community College and Joyce Kilmer Park

Bronx Community College will host the May 2, 2026, Run the Bronx races. Joyce Kilmer Park is the site for the sold-out New Balance Bronx 10 Mile on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Both venues already contain the start and finish infrastructure used by NYRR and local race organisers.

NYRR Open Run Locations

NYRR maintains four free Open Run sites on consistent weekly timetables. Crotona Park operates Sundays at 9 AM. Pelham Bay Park holds sessions Thursdays at 7 PM. Soundview Park and St. Mary’s Park both open Saturdays at 9 AM. These repeated schedules rely on the existing paths and open spaces within each park.

Additional Bronx Running Groups and Parks

The Bronx Running Club meets Mondays at 6:30 PM at Williamsbridge Oval Park. StartLine Runners gather on Saturdays and Tuesdays at Van Cortlandt Park and Central Park North. Bronx Femme Run conducts a free monthly group run, walk and run-walk on the first Friday of every month at Macombs Dam Park. Each group uses the same park facilities on fixed days, extending access to runners of varying ages and fitness levels.

Registration details for the May event appear on active.com. Race information for the September 10 Mile is listed on runclubs.nyc and nyrr.org. Weekly Open Run times are posted on the NYRR site. Participants seeking regular sessions can locate the listed parks through the same sources and arrive at the stated times.
