The Terri Roemer Paramus Run
Since 1979, runners and walkers have been coming to Paramus on the third Sunday in October to enjoy the beautiful fall weather, participate in one of the most runner focused events of the year, and help young people succeed through the Paramus Scholarship Fund.
The Run was the brainchild of Terri Roemer, who founded the event along with Marty Roemer, Lou Lanzalotto and others. Their early contributions paved the way for the success of this great community event. In 2005, the Run was named in honor of Terri Roemer. To date the Run has awarded over $850,000 in scholarships to deserving Paramus students.
Beginning in 2022 the Run partnered with the Valley Hospital Auxiliary. The VHA supports specialized programs for seriously ill children. In addition to the scholarships awarded, the Run has provided over $80,000 in support to VHA programs.
The Run Committee wants to thank all of the race sponsors, whose contributions enable the Terri Roemer Paramus Run to remain at the top of the fall road race schedule in northern New Jersey.
This annual event is sponsored by the people of Paramus, in conjunction with the Board of Recreation Commissioners, Board of Education, Paramus Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Paramus Shade Tree & Parks Commission, and Paramus Police Dept.
The Terri Roemer Paramus Run is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
