Race Through Rockaway Beach, NY In September
This September 15, the millions of people living in and around New York City have a chance to participate in the Rockaway Beach Civic Association 5K Run/Walk. As you may recall, Rockaway Beach was one of the hardest hit areas during Superstorm Sandy last October, and this is a great community event that is raising money for some projects in the neighborhood.
As a blue collar neighborhood with many residents who are police officers, fire fighters, paramedics, school teachers or other public employees, it’s a close-knit neighborhood. The event, along with other runs in the area, have been going on since 2001 and have been well received by the running community in the New York area, growing in size. That’s built the sense of community outward, and the event is open to runners of all ages and abilities.
