Update: The weather forecast for Saturday night (before the race on Sunday) calls for a mix of rain and snow. Please be advised that the NYRR Joe Kleinerman 10K will be run as scheduled. If you have any weather concerns, please check this webpage before leaving for the race on Sunday morning.

Update: The Joe Kleinerman 10K has reached capacity and registration has closed.

The legacy of NYRR founder Joe Kleinerman lives on with his namesake 10K. This wintry run not only pays tribute to Kleinerman, who passed away in 2003, but it also benefits a scholarship fund in his name for scholastic runners. $1 of your registration fee goes directly to the fund, and additional donations can be made during registration.

Note: Participants must be at least 12 years old.

Race Scoring

Click To Play
This race is timed using the ChronoTrack timing system. This system is similar to the ChampionChip system previously used in NYRR races in that each runner will wear a timing device on their shoe that will be read by mats at the start and finish. However, the timing device will be a d-tag that you will receive attached to your bib number. You must remove the d-tag from your number and attach it to your shoe prior to the race, following the instructions that you will receive with the bib. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE D-TAG IS ATTACHED CORRECTLY. The d-tag is disposable; it will not be collected after the race. All participants in this race must wear the d-tag in order to have their times recorded. If you own a ChampionChip, you must run with the special d-tag, as no ChampionChip timing equipment will be used at this race. For additional information from ChronoTrack, please click here. Please follow the instructions in your race packet on attaching the d-tag to your shoe.
