Record Participation

The 9th annual Malverne 5K Run and kids fun run proved again to be a great attraction for local runners and walkers. The overcast weather didn’t deter them from registering at the last minute or coming to cheer on their friends.

Registration

While  the registration for all 4 races of the inaugural Southwest Nassau Run Series has been open already for some time (online registration only), we didn’t open the registration for Malverne 5K run until now. There are both, a single registrant form and a “family” form for multiple registrations available at the Registration page. Don’t delay your registration, though. Only the first 250 registrants (series and Malverne run combined) will have their shirts waiting for them at the registration desk on the day of the run. Not only you’ll have your shirt, but for the first time in the history of Malverne 5K you can let us know (using the form below) what T-shirt design you prefer to wear. Continue reading →
