TEENS RUN YONKERS 1ST ANNUAL 5K+: CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FINISHERS

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR FINISHERS FOR TEENS RUN YONKERS FIRST ANNUAL 5K+! FANTASTIC JOB EVERYONE.

A great day for the Teens Run Yonkers community as we held our first ever 5K+ at Tibbetts Brook Park. We had 25 teens, mentors and parents who participated in today's run and gave it their all. Today's course took started with a half loop around the North Field that a nice incline up to the Old Putnam Railway Trail. Runners then doubled back to the Pool area and did a 2nd loop around the pool. All in, they competed 3.77 miles, a fantastic accomplishment. I was thrilled to be able to give all our finishers their medals and welcome them home.

We were also pleased to welcome several members of the Yonkers Track Team who joined us for today's run and did an amazing job. Everyone put in a 110% effort - and that's the most important part.

Over the next day or so, I look forward to having all times sent out to everyone who ran. Also, it was great that one of my neighbors whose son was running is also a photographer took lots of pictures - looking forward to having them posted soon as well.

Again, a big thank you and congratulations to everyone that joined us here this morning.

Also, please save the date - on April 21st at 11:45, we will be having an 8K run at Tibbetts - We will be kicking off the Yonkers On the Move Community Walk with our own run. Details to follow.
