About the Terri Roemer Paramus Run

The courses for both distances wind through tree-lined residential streets, starting and finishing at a hotel anchored in a shopping center. The roads are flat enough that the surroundings do most of the work, and the certified course means the distance is honest. Traffic control is posted throughout, so you are not guessing at intersections.

The start area is at the hotel, and packet pickup begins early on race morning. After you finish, there is a DJ, drinks, and snacks, plus a raffle if you stick around.

Common Questions About the The Terri Roemer Paramus Run

Will I finish last at the Terri Roemer Paramus Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:22:21, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Terri Roemer Paramus Run a good first 5K?

A field of 443 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Terri Roemer Paramus Run?

The 5K winner ran 15:29 while the median finisher took 32:20. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
