NYCRUNS PROSPECT PARK 5K BENEFITING CAMBA
Prospect Park - The Nethermead • Nethermead Brooklyn, NY 11215 Organized by New York City Runs, Inc.About this event
Join us in Prospect Park for either a 5K or a 10K. We’re excited about running in the warmer, spring weather and even more excited to be in this absolutely breathtaking part of Brooklyn. But the best part? This race benefits CAMBA, a nonprofit that provides services that connect people with opportunities to enhance their quality of life.
CAMBA
CAMBA is one of the city’s largest and most trusted community-based organizations helping over 65,000 people a year with over 160 programs at more than 80 sites. CAMBA helps to feed the hungry, prevent homelessness, build more affordable and supportive housing, provide legal services and workforce development programs, and helps low-income youth believe a college education is in their future and work towards that goal. Your support helps to stabilize the tens of thousands of families who were dealt an unfair hand and have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and advances an inclusive New York City.
THE COURSE
You'll run almost 2 complete loops of the park (but you'll only run the hill once!) for the 10K and a little less than a loop for the 5K.
