From the Organizer

THE 2025 Chris Conway Memorial Run is A 500 POINT RACE!

The Chris Conway Memorial Run & 1 Mile Walk
Presented by All Schools Special Needs

Join us in honoring the life and legacy of Chris Conway at this special community event. Proceeds benefit All Schools Special Needs, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Ridgefield Park. Their mission is to provide vital resources—such as physical and medical equipment, educational supplies, technology, field trips, and more—to the special needs population of Ridgefield Park. Many of these opportunities would not normally be attainable due to cost or availability, and we are proud to support this organization that does so much for these children.

Our rolling course provides an excellent second half of the race with a downhill finish to the track! Stay after for our post race indoor/outdoor BBQ party offering plenty of refreshments and giveaways! 

We appreciate your support and look forward to sharing this great day with you all!
