About the Riverdale Temple FALL OF LOVE 5K/10K Run/Walk

The course runs through Riverdale, a hilly neighborhood in the Bronx, and the terrain earns the word challenging. The rolling elevation is consistent throughout, so there is no single brutal stretch, just a sustained workout on legs. It is a benefit race for Riverdale Temple, and runners are encouraged to bring a shelf-stable food item to donate at the start.

Packet pickup runs the two days before the race, with morning-of registration also available. Parking is on hand at the start area.

Common Questions About the Riverdale Temple FALL OF LOVE 5K/10K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Riverdale Temple FALL OF LOVE 5K/10K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 42:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:41:19, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Riverdale Temple FALL OF LOVE 5K/10K Run/Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (117 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Riverdale Temple FALL OF LOVE 5K/10K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 17:00 while the median finisher took 42:43. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
