Organiser's Description
THE 2025 TEF TENAFLY 5K RUN AND DOG WALK ON JUNE 1, 2025
Join us as we celebrate the _27TH TEF TENAFLY 5K RUN & DOG WALK_ on SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 2025. And again this year - medals for everyone!
This USATF-sanctioned 5K Run has become one of the largest road races in North Jersey, drawing more than 1,500 runners of all ages and abilities. After the runners leave the starting line, more than 100 dogs - with their owners - follow them along the same 5K course. But that, of course, is only some of what makes our race special. We have family-friendly events for everyone - including a 1-mile Fun Run for runners of all ages and abilities, our Tiger Cub runs for the 6-and-under crowd, and inflatable bounce houses to entertain kids of all ages! In addition, we invite you to visit our Family Health & Fitness Fair to meet our sponsors, share some snacks and drinks and get your face painted. Our eager volunteers are ready to make this your favorite event of the year!
All proceeds from the event support the Tenafly Educational Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that funds teacher-initiated programs and projects in the Tenafly public schools that the school budget is unable to cover. These grants allow teachers and administrators to bring their creative and innovative ideas into the classroom in order to enhance the learning experience. Visit www.tefnj.org [http://www.tefnj.org] for more information. The Tenafly 5K is the single largest fundraiser for TEF. The event raised over $50,000 in 2024 and has raised more than $800,000 since its inception in 1999.
