The 46th Annual Paramus Run

October 19, 2025


This annual event, in partnership with the Terri Roemer Paramus Run, proved to be a great success for VHA. There were nearly 1500 participants of all ages and the event raised over $29,000 towards our pledge, focused on the Butterflies program. 

We were also thrilled to have Karteek Bhavsar, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Valley Health System, serve as the leader of the 5K run. 

Our sincere gratitude goes out to our Presenting Sponsor, La Bella Roma Pizzeria & Ristorante.  To see our other generous sponsors, visit https://www.valleyhealth.com/services/auxiliary/auxiliary-events-meetings/paramus-run. Thanks also to the Paramus Run committee: Kathy Ambrose, Barbara Mills, Chair, and Gabrielle Winnert for their hard work.  

We hope you’ll join us next year on Sunday, October 18, 2026!
