Soundview Park sits at a striking confluence where the Bronx River meets the East River, and NYRR's free Open Run brings a welcoming weekly community to its waterfront paths. There's no fee and no clock — just neighbors of every pace running and walking together with water views and Bronx greenery around them. For South Bronx locals or anyone after a free, friendly morning move, it's an easy, feel-good pick.
What to expect
Meet in Soundview Park for a volunteer-led, untimed group run or walk along its paths near the water. All paces and ages welcome, with a warm community vibe and riverfront scenery. Free; just turn up.
