From the Organizer
Council Member Shahana Hanif and the PTAs of Brooklyn’s public schools are coming together for the 17th annual PTA 5K+ run/walk/stroll/toddle/scoot in Prospect Park. The race will take place on Saturday, October 24, 2025 at 10 AM. Bib pickup and pre-race activities will begin at 9:00 AM.
For over a decade now, the PTA Fun Run has been a community day in Prospect Park for local public school communities. Parents, students, and educators have showed up to build community have collectively raised funds for our neediest schools (Net proceeds from your registration fees will go to support PTAs at high need schools).
The Fun Run will be a 3.3 mile loop, starting and finishing on the main park drive just outside the LeFrak Center. The run will start at 10 AM. Bib distribution and pre-race activities will begin inside the LeFrak Center starting at 9 AM. As a fun run, we welcome everyone-- young, old, experienced and not, runners, walkers, strollers, tricycles, scooters, wheelchairs-- all are invited to join!
Register now with your school team and encourage your friends and fellow school community members to do the same. See you on October 24th! If you or someone you know has financial barriers to payment, or have any other questions about the race, please email District 39 at District39@council.nyc.gov.
Parents, when you press the Sign Up tab above, please register yourself/adults first, then children.
And if you cannot be in Prospect Park on October 24th and still wish to support local public schools, please visit the Donate tab at the top of this page. Any contribution is welcome!
Special thanks to our community partners: Prospect Park Alliance and The District 15 President's Council
