5K RUN – USATF Certified
Test your endurance on a USATF-certified course, perfect for runners of all levels. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply looking to run in honor of a true American hero, this 5K is a meaningful way to challenge yourself while paying tribute to Basilone’s unwavering spirit.

If you’re looking for an even greater test of strength and endurance, take on the full combat load—machine gun with water, tripod, and ammunition—totaling approximately 100 pounds.
Whether you’re running, rucking, or supporting from the sidelines, this event is an opportunity to honor a Marine Corps legend and keep his legacy alive. Sign up today and push yourself like a warrior!

Nothing matches the sheer scale and electric energy of New York City, a sprawling metropolis where the unique character of its five boroughs creates a global stage like no other.

RUN FOR DAD is the American Cancer Society’s premier community event to raise funds and build awareness about prostate cancer. Now in its 22nd year, RUN FOR DAD, is changing it's date! Usually taking place every Father’s Day, we have decided to move to September which is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Join us on September 26, 2026 as this event honors the memory of Frank Simms, event co-founder and all those who lost their battle with prostate cancer.
Over 1,000 people attend this family fun event which consists of a 5K Run and 2-mile walk. Small children are invited to take part in the Kids Run For Dad, a series of small races where they are all winners.
In 2023, approximately 228,800 men in the US were diagnosed with prostate cancer and over 27,500 died from the disease. About one man in seven will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. New Jersey has the third highest incidence per capita of prostate cancer in the US. Even worse, in African American men, the incidence is roughly 60% higher than those of white or Asian men. There is good news however. The 5-year survival rate for men whose prostate cancer is detected early is nearly 100% and 93% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer will live 10 years or more. Education, awareness and personal action are saving lives and finding a cure.

COURSE ADVISORIES
8K TRAIL RUN
The 8K Trail Run is new this year, and we are excited for you to pilot this beautiful course! Keep in mind that this is a mixed-terrain course and there are sections that are moderately technical. Runners will encounter steep and uneven stone steps, rocky switchbacks, stretches of pavement, grass, gravel, and pathways alongside steep cliff drop-offs. Certain sections will require slowing down to a walk or hike and, at times, moving in single file for safety. These areas will be clearly marked with signage, and volunteers will be present to direct runners along the way.
HALF MARATHON
In summer of 2024, a severe storm caused road damage along the Palisades Half Marathon route. Road conditions have improved since last year, but there are still some remaining sections of uneven pavement with exposed bricks, bumps, and depressions. The road conditions last for half a mile between mile markers 2 and 3, and between mile markers 11 and 12. Take note of caution signs and volunteer warnings as you approach and traverse the rough road section.
We appreciate your understanding of imperfect route conditions! The Palisades Half + 8K is a nonprofit event that supports the Palisades Parks System of 29 Hudson Valley parks, many of which are increasingly vulnerable to severe weather events. Thank you for supporting the parks!
VOLUNTEERS
We are still actively recruiting volunteers for race day. Our volunteer crews help the race run smoothly by supporting check-in, running water stations, and providing guidance along the course. If friends or family wish to volunteer on race day, please ask them to fill out this form with their information and availability.
Cancelation, Refund & Transfer Policy
All registration fees for this race are put directly toward the Palisades Parks Conservancy nonprofit's work of protecting, preserving, and enhancing the Palisades Parks. At this time, we cannot offer refunds or deferrals. We understand that injuries, emergencies, and obligations can come up. If you cannot attend the race, you may reach out to [email protected] to transfer your registration to another person who can run in your place.
The event will go on rain or shine, in the event of extreme inclement weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances, the race will be canceled and all registration fees will be converted to donations to support the Palisades Parks preservation work. We appreciate your understanding and your contributions to our small organization!
