On Saturday, September 26, something powerful will happen when sneakers hit the pavement and purpose takes the lead.
At the I Run for Girls 5K Run/Walk event, community meets cause, passion meets
purpose, and every participant plays a part in lifting girls up. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, your presence makes a difference—and your steps help girls go further than they ever imagined.
And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! This event brings a vibrant, festival-like atmosphere for the whole family to enjoy. From a live DJ spinning upbeat tunes to keep the energy high, to free food and beverages to refuel and recharge, there’s something for everyone. Kids can dive into hands-on crafts and activities, while friends and families soak in the festive spirit. It’s more than a run—it’s a celebration filled with music, laughter, and unforgettable moments for all ages.
We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!

The Palisades Half is back for 2025 and this year, we are thrilled to introduce an additional 8K mixed-terrain run! Both races will take place on Sunday, September 21st. Join for a stunning 13.1 mile
paved run with over 1,000 ft of elevation along the Palisades ridge, or experience the rugged cliffs with a shorter 8 kilometer mixed-terrain adventure run along the shore trail, the Long Path, and the rocky cliff climbs in between.
Both the Palisades Half and 8K will begin and end at the Ross Dock Picnic Area in the Palisades Interstate Park in Fort Lee, NJ. Car parking at Ross Dock will be available but limited to reservations made through the runsignup registration portal. Regular shuttle services between uptown Manhattan and the Start/Finish Line will be available before and throughout the event, and free bicycle parking will be offered on site.
All proceeds benefit the Palisades Parks Conservancy and the network of 29 parks and historic sites that we serve, from the GW Bridge to the Catskill Mountains.

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!

Both Run #1 and #2 are 2.2 miles each, an out/back format (only solo duathletes complete 2nd run) You will run along the east side and make a turn around point by the 96th street Margret L Kempner Playground (right after the crosswalk). No significant elevation gain other than at the very start of the race, running up Cat Hill.
The bike route consists of riding 2 loops around the entire Central Park drive. You are to ride the entire Central Park Drive, all 6 miles, and including the Harlem Hill. Total of 12 miles. The total elevation gain is about 300 ft per loop. The park is still open to the public and be mindful of other park users.
For athletes competing in the Team Boat Relay race, after you have completed the bike segment of the race, you and your partner will head to the Central Park Boat House dock, behind transition area. The Central Park Boat House staff will assist you boarding the boat. You will row through the Central Park Lake one loop and back to the far end of the boat dock crossing the yellow finishing buoys where your race will officially end (you and your partner do not have to sprint back to transition area).
