The 1st Roosevelt Island 5K in 2011 was a huge success and the 2012 spring race, scheduled for Saturday, May 12, 2012, should be even better. This fast and flat electronically timed 5K will be run on a USATF certified (pending) course and the start and finish are located near the F Train and Tram stations.The closed course is a nice loop around the perimeter of the island with breathtaking views of the East River and of course Manhattan and Queens. Stick around for the post-race party and awards immediately after the last participant finish.All participant registration for this race will be on NYCRUNS. Use this page to create your fundraising page and teams. Invite your family and friends to sponsor you in support or such great cause. The Icla da Silva Foundation and NYCRUNS will be working together to create a more comprehensive fundraising program and we hope to have details available in January.Walkers and runners will be helping to raise awareness of the need for more marrow donors in the Be the Match registry. Additionally, money raised will be used towards patient support and donor recruitment programs.Here is how you can participate:
