Sleepy Hollow Designated as a Runner Friendly Community

On October 8, 2024,  Rivertown Runners proudly presented the Village of Sleepy Hollow the designation as a Runner Friendly Community. The Road Runners Club of America awards the Runner Friendly Community designation to communities that meet a strict criterion.

Rivertown Runners submitted an application to recognize Sleepy Hollow as a Runner Friendly Community. A Runner Friendly Community should be able to prove it has the infrastructure to foster physical activity in a safe environment. Rivertown Runners identified the many benefits to runners in our community and the support of our local government and merchants in Sleepy Hollow.

We have many local community members that step forward to volunteer at the running events presented in our community. It’s not just our races but the Sprint Triathlon, the Rocky Races and the Foundation Color Run.

None of it could be done without the assistance of the Sleepy Hollow Police  Department, the Recreation Department and the Department of Public Works.

Rivertown Runners could not think of a better way to say ‘thank you’ to the Village of Sleepy Hollow, all the merchant sponsors, the community members that participate in the races, all the volunteers and those that come out to cheer for the runners. They all make Sleepy Hollow a Runner Friendly Community.
