05/13/2018 I have struggled finding the results for the race. When I clicked on the site it said I wasn't authorized to view. I wanted to see how I did in comparison to my friends. Course was wonderful as always. Well marked. Volunteers were very nice. Felt safe with the paramedics all around the course. Friendly vendors at the end. The race was outstanding. Website, a little below what I was expecting. Bag pick up was quick and efficient. Can't wait till next year.

05/08/2018 This is my 9th year running this 5k. It is the most efficiently tun 5k that I have ever run. I enjoy the time before and after the race talking with friends from around town. The race gets a lot of Waldwick residents to run so it's a good way to meet people or catch up with skme folks outside of your normal circle of friends.
The race needs School of Rock to set up a second band in the gazebo. They have been there in past years but not consistently.

05/08/2018 This was my first 5k and I felt the atomosphere was fun and motivating. I especially enjoyed and benefitted from the B2W5K training group. As a beginner and someone who hasn't run in a very long time I was able to learn strategies to build endurance, etc. that will help me with future races.

05/07/2018 I've run in the Waldwick Chamber 5K for several years now and it never disappoints. Despite the rainy day, the event was special. The energy and enthusiasm was contagious. The atmosphere was invigorating from the start with the singing of Proud to be an American and the Star Spangled banner by a talented young lady. The event is dedicated to local fallen heroes from the the marines and police department. Touching, moving and a great run.

05/07/2018 Stan does an amazing job putting this event together every year. This is a top tier road race in bergen county and one not to miss. The awards, swag bag, organization, etc. was all top notch. My only concern is the change to the course which added a second 180 degree turnaround. The course also came up a bit long compared to last year. I prefer the old course without the extra turnaround. Other than that the course was is very nice, especially with the track finish!

05/06/2018 I was on the fence about running since it was raining but I'm glad I did. The race course while not very pretty was fairly flat. And I really enjoyed reading the motivational signs. I didn't really hang around afterwards due to the weather but I thought the school of rock band was a great touch and sounded AMAZING! I had a lot of fun!

05/06/2018 I am not a runner, but I am an experienced and very fast walker (13 - 15 minute pace per mile). I think the mile was fun, but too short. I think having the option to walk the full 5k would be great, but the information on the race did not seem like it was an option. Signage at the registration booth was not clear about where to get your packet if you're a walker. Otherwise, I thought the 5K was well organized and a very fun event.

05/06/2018 This was my first time running, let alone running a 5K. I signed up for the training program put on by Marybeth Connolly and it was really excellent. Stan Kowlaski was also so supportive and encouraging. It was a great first experience. The race was pretty difficult for me as a non-runner, but I am proud to have stuck with the training and am hopeful to keep running after this. I look forward to running the 5K next year!

05/06/2018 Really well run race! Loved the motivational signs along the course, easy packet pick up and medal pick up after the race so not all runners had to wait for awards. Would prefer a slightly more expanded course with less double backs (this was the only tedious part of the race, especially in the rain). First half of the course was my favorite part.

05/06/2018 This race is always set up perfect. All signage from parking to race course is clearly marked and viable.
There are a lot of added touches to make the race have some what of a personal touch. The course is a little bit of a challenge but just enough to push you and not to much to want to make you give up.
I look forward to this race every year and use it as motivation to get my but going for the rest of the year.

05/11/2017 I've been a sponsor and volunteer for this race for many years. As tired as I get from all the time put in including a very early day of wake up, it is always extremely rewarding. Runners get a great scenic route on the street through the park and past a lake ending on the school track. Vendors get an amazing day with the community out to support. 2016 was pouring and we still had people signing up that day to run. And best of all the profits from the run support great volunteer organizations in the community. All of this is possible because of a great team of volunteers and especially our race director. He is a runner himself and is always gathering tips from other races he participates in. Thank you to all that ran. Thank you to all of our sponsors for helping make the event possible. And thank you to the Waldwick Chamber, the 5k Committee and Race Director Stan K. Ten years strong and still running.

05/11/2017 First non-obstacle course 5K for me. I trained for it with the Couch to 5K program and feel that the program really got me ready for the race. I thought it was a challenge being my first race with all the hills but overall I thought it was a great experience, left me wanting to run more. Little disappointed in the quality of the t-shirt provided and no medal.

05/11/2017 Organization was OK, but race should be more promoted.
* It would be nice to have marked specific points where runners previously know there would be a photographer, then it would be more fun for all.
* At the race there were many teams or families with their own T-shirts, it would be nicer if you can offer the official T-shirt but added our own family or Team name (understood price will be higher for these T-shirts).
* Some kind of discount (incentive) when you registry to all your family or Team.
* The fun signs placed along the track should be carefully analyzed on where they should be placed (at the beginning, middle or end the track) some signs did not motivate at all to some runners.
Thanks.

05/10/2017 This was the fourth year my husband and I attended, doing the walk and the 5k. The 5k is a nice run with some inclines and nice scenery. There are Fun signs to keep you motivated and live music at certain points in the race. Every year we look forward to the t shirt, wondering what color it will be, quality and fit are great. The vendors are always great and there is a good selection of snacks and entertainment. Overall we love this local event and look forward to it next year. Overall value is good for tshirt, event activities and supporting the local community.

05/09/2017 I think I've run the race 4 times now. Positives: Easy to get to, plenty of nearby parking, organized, fun course signage. Course is challenging enough without being too much although for a brand new runner may be a bit of a challenge. Negatives: $35 for a 5k is a lot. No medal. Non-tech shirt.

05/09/2017 Dedication ceremonies should be moved to the football field so that business can continue to be conducted if people so choose without all the rude hushes. Dedication ceremonies shouldn't be mandated on everyone anyway and it's disrupting to those interested in the ceremonies to deah with all the people yeling for folks to "be quiet" or shushing that goes on.

05/09/2017 The only issue I had with the race was the singing or cadence from the police academy cadets. I found this to be annoying as I couldn't hear the music on my iPod which is what I use for motivation. I paid an entry fee and feel I shouldn't be forced to listen to this through the course of the race.

05/09/2017 All in all, this is a great race. I have done it 3 of the last 4 years. The only thing that I would like added is a strip to add to the starting line to measure chip time. A few of my friends were a little bummed that that being in the back starting with our family made our official time suffer a bit, but that's cosmetic. Overall its a great 5k.

05/09/2017 I have done a lot of road races over the years, and this one is definitely one of the most well organized events. No rock was left unturned. The course was well marked with a lead car, arrows at every turn (and there are lots of turns!), cones closing the course to traffic, signs of positive encouragement (and a few funny ones!) along the course, and support from the town all over the place! You also get to enjoy something that usually only high-profile track meets get: an on-the-track finish and a dj/mc making announcements as the runners finish the race. I have no complaints about this event, and I will definitely be back next year. Well done! The awards are also top notch. The medals are extremely unique, and prize money is available for competitive runners.

05/09/2017 The race route was good. The cons were pre pick-up of bibs. Apparently till 6 means till 5:45. Something to be aware of. Shirt sizes available. I had to get a shirt size that was two sizes to small because it was the largest available. When I got to the finish line half of the post race people had left or were packing. The hot dog event was not very well run. We walked to it and got one hot dog and watched the dept. stand around chatting. Race great. Post race not impressive if you are a beginner or not a small shirt size. Disappointing for such a great cause.

05/08/2017 I was never aware of a race course posted ahead of time. I would have like the opportunity to envision my route before I ran it, anticipating turns and distances. But it wasn't available on the website, the sign-up site, or the friendly day-before email with registration information. The course itself was tricky. There were very few long stretches which, on one hand, was good to have the scene changed up frequently, but on the other hand, I felt like I didn't know where I was going at any time.
Separately, there was only one timer available at a mile marker (number 1) and with the position of the timer and sunshine, you couldn't see the numbers (or maybe it wasn't working?). Slightly frustrating if you were trying to keep track of your mile splits. In the same vein, was there even an official chip start location? There was definitely a chip ending location, but I didn't step over anything at the beginning to start my chip time, which meant I believe it was a few seconds slow. A few seconds is not a lot in the grand scheme of things for me or most people, but if I were a USATF member and had to make a certain time to qualify for something, I'd be frustrated.

05/08/2017 Fantastic day, great support, all the items checked off for a race day, even with the breeze. I enjoyed everything about the day, except the distribution of Age group medals. The medal itself is creative & unique, however the method of two people holding the results, checking names& then going to get the medal seemed silly and inefficient. I was fine to not get called up, I would suggest an alternate plan for next year that makes use of the bounty of volunteers. As I said a great day, but something to for next year.

05/08/2017 There was no awards ceremony for age groupers, just a simple announcement to come up to the table if you THINK you are receiving an award. They covered the overall winners, but even that was not ceremonious. There was a "line" (mob) that everyone attempted to file in to get their (possible) awards. I don't enjoy waiting around for every age group to be announced every time, but I'd rather that than the insanity that went on. The poor people handing out awards looked beyond overwhelmed. They did a fantastic job, but this definitely could have and should have been done differently.

05/08/2017 I loved the signs on the 5k route - they helped me to run further and they were funny too. Thumbs up!

05/08/2017 Loved it. Second year in a row. Sad that I must wait until next year to do it again.

06/08/2015 I've never run in a 5K or any other race. The Waldwick 5K was my first and I could not have been more pleased with my experience. It is a well organized event and even though there was a large turnout, I never felt like i was lost in the crowd from start to finish. It was a nice course with a mix of residential and park but what I remember most are the people throughout the course cheering us on. It was a great event for anyone but especially for me running in my first 5K.
