Ridgway 1K Rally Thru the Alley
Sunday, October 5 | “Race” starts at 12:45 PM | Clinton Street, Ridgway
Presented by Citizen’s State Bank, Weehawken Creative Arts, and The Sherbino, the Ridgway 1K Rally Thru the Alley is a celebration of costumes, carbs, and community! This hilariously slow-paced 1K is perfect for all ages and fitness levels (especially the “non-runner” types).
Forget training — this “grueling” 6-block, all-downhill course is lined with seven themed aid stations, where participants can refuel with everything from bacon to donuts to mocktails and more. Waves of racers (aka revelers) are released every few minutes beginning at 12:45 PM, with the last wave departing no later than 1:15 PM — so arrive before 12:45 if you’re registering day-of!
🎭 Costumes are not just encouraged—they’re rewarded!
🏆 Prizes awarded for best costume, most outrageous group, and most fun had.
👧 Kids under 13 run FREE with a registered adult!
Pre-register now and save $5!
If you’re first, you’re last... so take your time and enjoy the alleyway adventure.

Citizen's State Bank, Weehawken Creative Arts and The Sherbino Present: THE RIDGWAY 1K RALLY THRU THE ALLEY!
This is a "run" you won't want to miss! The Ridgway 1k is a very fun, costumed race for all ages with plenty of rest-stops along the way of the "grueling" 6 block, downhill course. Each stop celebrates the need to refuel with plenty of carbs... and bacon! Remember to take your time and enjoy - after all, in the Ridgway 1k, if you're first, you're last!
The race ends at Hartwell Park with live music and an optional add-on regional barrel tasting festival too (San Juan Barrel Fest)! This event is a fundraiser for two non-profit arts organizations, Weehawken Creative Arts and the Sherbino.
This event is a joint fundraiser for Weehawken Creative Arts and Sherbino Theater.
