A few words from the Get To The 'Point! - 5K Run Event Chairman and Director of the St. Stan's Athletic League, Frank P. Carbone: The St. Stan's Athletic League is proud to be the driving force behind the creation and production of the Get To The 'Point! - 5K Run. Over the past 18 years, this wonderful event has truly grown and developed to become one of the most popular, fun, family-oriented race events held in the metropolitan area each year. Whether you are a serious runner looking for a challenging course with tough competition or just want to come out and walk the course and enjoy the fun, food, and festivities, we have something for everyone ! Last year's event alone attracted over 600 participants from the five boroughs, Long Island, New Jersey and even Connecticut - and this year we look to continue to build on those numbers. In addition, all proceeds of the event are used to benefit the sports programs produced by the St. Stan's Athletic League, which provides quality athletic activities to over 400 children on an annual basis. We hope that you are enjoying the presentation of our event through the features of our website. As always, we appreciate your comments and feedback so that we can continue to serve the needs of the community and provide you with a quality, fun-filled event. Feel free to drop us a note in regard to any issues or questions that you may have. Interested in Volunteering ???  Please let us know !!!
