Runners and walkers have been coming to Paramus on the third Sunday in October to enjoy the beautiful fall weather, participate in one of the most runner-focused events of the year, and help young people succeed through the Paramus Scholarship Fund.
Founded in 1979 by Terri and Marty Roemer, the 2018 Run marked its 40th Anniversary – with overall scholarship donations of over $650,000 to date.
Those of you who’ve enjoyed the post race runners’ party over the years won’t be disappointed. I’ll be back and better than ever. And the on-course race clocks will be back too!
The Run Committee wants to thank all of the race sponsors, whose contributions enable the Terri Roemer Paramus Run to remain at the top of the fall road race schedule in northern New Jersey. And special thanks to the businesses whose donations make the annual runners’ gift-pack a success as well
