Running is more than just a sport, it's a journey of perseverance, self-discovery, and growth. Every stride you take brings new challenges, but also new victories, both big and small. This is a space where effort matters more than pace and showing up is the greatest achievement of all. Some days will feel effortless; others will test your limits—but every run contributes to your progress. Remember, there’s no single “right way” to be a runner. Your path is uniquely yours. As you move forward with us, celebrate your milestones, learn from your setbacks, and most importantly, enjoy the process. Support one another, stay consistent, and don’t forget to have fun along the way. Your participation in this event, whether as a participant or as a volunteer, helps support Riverdale Temple programming, and ensures that much-needed resources are in place for the entire community’s benefit. As we continue to provide and grow our current community programming, such as movie nights, theater shows, karaoke nights, community Labor Day barbecue, fitness and wellness classes, high holiday celebrations, our new Playspace, Jewish Adult Education — and much more — your financial support by participating and/or donating to this amazing event makes this day much more special! Riverdale Temple is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1947, and offers people from all walks of life a vibrant, progressive, multi-generational Reform Jewish community right here in Riverdale. We are committed to a warm, caring, inclusive approach to Jewish life, and we celebrate the beautiful diversity of our membership. Our community consists of young and old, singles and couples, young families, members of the LGBTQIA+, and includes those from Jewish and non-Jewish backgrounds. Through our dedication to tikkun olam , or repairing the world, we initiate and/or take part in many forms of community outreach including grocery collections, clothing drives, and our own Mitzvah Day, an annual day of community service focusing on projects within and outside the Temple to serve others in the larger community. We continue to ask for support by bringing a shelf-stable food item with you to the race, where it will be collected in support of Friendly Fridge BX (thefriendlyfridgebx@gmail.com), an organization that helps redirect 30 tons of food on a monthly basis to those who are food insecure. Your donations can help make a difference in someone’s life and help keep nutritious food out of the landfills. “Lace up, take a deep breath and begin — your journey now.” Regards, Lisa Bruskin Executive Director/RRCA Road Race Director For more information, contact Lisa Bruskin, Executive Director/RRCA Race Director at execdirector@riverdaletemple.org
