About the Hear Your Song Fall 5K: Run, Walk or Roll!
The in-person route runs through Prospect Park, starting from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch at Grand Army Plaza. The park offers a natural, tree-lined setting, and the course is open to runners, walkers, and wheelchair users alike. A virtual option lets participants cover the distance on their own, anywhere they choose, over a stretch of days.
The in-person start is at the arch near Grand Army Plaza, which is easy to spot. The event is tied to a fundraising effort for a music nonprofit, so the atmosphere leans more toward participation than competition. There is no registration fee to enter.
