TEF Tenafly 5K Run & Dog Walk

Overview
Join us for the annual TEF Tenafly 5K Run and Dog Walk. The USATF-sanctioned 5K Run is 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 dog owners follow them on the 5K course with their dogs. The day's other fun events include a dog parade, tiger cub races, and a 1-mile fun run. We hope you join us as we enter our third decade of supporting Tenafly Public Schools.
