Event Description

Fitness with Friends' vision is to help communities become healthy, fit, and happy by providing clinics and classes for all members old and young.  We also have had a dream of bringing a 5K race back to River Vale.  We want River Vale with its picturesque streets, small hometown feel, and vibrant community spirit, to be the star of this 3.1-mile journey.  The race will culminate with the beginning of River Vale Town Day where the town sponsors entertainment, bounce houses, a petting zoo, rides and games, showcases and Chili Contest!  This is a race for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. 

Registration begins at 7:30 am. 

Race Time begins 8:30 am .

Registrants will receive a commemorative Fitness with Friends and River Vale T-shirt!

Profits will be donated to the Helping Hand Food Pantry located in Hillsdale, NJ.
