THE SOUNDVIEW 5K presented by RTBX

Lace up for THE SOUNDVIEW 5K presented by RTBX, an exhilarating 5000-meter race set to unfold on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in the vibrant Soundview Park of New York, NY. This event promises a flat and fast paved course, ideal for setting a new personal best, though runners should be prepared for "one hell of a hairpin turn!". As you race, you'll experience a unique blend of urban green space and natural beauty, running through areas with playgrounds, soccer and baseball fields, and an amphitheater, all while enjoying scenic views along the Bronx River.

The Soundview 5K caters to a wide range of participants, offering both an Elite Wave starting at 9:30 AM for competitive runners and a Community Wave at 10:00 AM, which welcomes walkers and those with baby strollers. The event, directed by an RRCA Certified Race Director, ensures a well-organized and supportive atmosphere. Participants will receive finisher medals, with prizes awarded to the first-place male and female runners in each wave, and age group awards for various categories. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 60F and lows around 45F, with a low 13% chance of precipitation, creating pleasant running weather.

Convenience is key, with bib and shirt pickup available on race morning starting at 8:30 AM at Soundview Park, where a bag check area will also be provided. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with complimentary waters and fruit for all registered runners and walkers. This race is an excellent opportunity to challenge yourself on a speedy course, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow runners, and experience the picturesque setting of Soundview Park.
