Little known facts about the trails of Forest Park:
The Wisconsinian glaciation molded this land between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago and left the Harbor Hill Moraine, a series of small hills known as “knob and kettle” terrain, including Forest Park. Which means the trails are naturally carved, not manmade like most nyc parks. Come explore and experience the beautiful 100 year old pine grove and longest continuous oak forest in Queens!
This race is dedicated to Pinky the Pacer, the lil white and brown dog with the pink nose who completed several thousand miles of trail running through the woods of Forest Park in Queens. Legends never die.

National Dance Institute
presents
Runs & Leaps Extravaganza!
JULY 28, 2026
On the occasion of National Dance Institute's (NDI) Founder Jacques d'Amboise's birthday, and in celebration of the organization’s 50th Anniversary, come dance with us to show your support for the importance the arts plays in all our lives. Following the success of the 2025 event, in Jackie Robinson Park in 2025, we're thrilled to expand this Runs and Leaps Extravaganza, to Central Park’s Naumburg Bandshell – just a “run and leap” from the Delacorte Theatre, home to many past NDI performances.
Under the Artistic Direction of Kay Gayner and Chirstopher d'Amboise, NDI Teaching Artists will guide current dancers, alumni, supporters, and friends of NDI as they "run and leap" across this iconic New York City site. Participants close the event with a short performance of an excerpt from a well-loved piece of NDI's repertoire - all accompanied by NDI's live band under the Music Direction of Yakir Ben Hur.
Reunite with your fellow alumni, meet the new generation of NDI dancers, and launch us into the next 50 years.
No experience is required - you'll learn everything you need to know in a short rehearsal upon arrival!
Participation is limited - register yourself or a team today!

To race in Central Park is breathtaking not only because of the great course but also because of what this place means to runners from all over the world. This is the largest and most important public backyard (park) in NYC with 843 acres of trees, meadows, paths, and attractions. It’s always beautiful and in the middle of the summer, it’s the place to be. The course is perfect for you, marked at every mile and turn, supported with water stations that have ice cold water and Gatorade. Join us afterward for a fun awards ceremony, NYC’s best bagels!
Boogie Down Bronx Runners was born from a simple observation. In May 2017, Lenny and Jean Paul noticed a gap in their borough no one else was filling, so they decided to change it themselves. The Bronx is the unhealthiest county in New York State, but these two runners believed something different was possible. What started as a solo runner at their first meetup has grown into nearly 40 strong on weekly runs, a non-judgmental community of everyday Bronx residents proving that running can transform lives, one BX mile at a time. They gather Sunday mornings at Edgar Allan Poe Park and Tuesday evenings at Pelham Cornerstone Community Center, offering two chances every week to be part of something real.
