About 13,000 runners took part in the New York Road Runners race, which began at 8 a.m. near Yankee Stadium.
The race started on Grand Concourse north of 165th Street, where runners headed north toward Mosholu Parkway.
At Mosholu Parkway, runners turned left and headed west, then made a U-turn just short of Sedgwick Avenue. They then continued east on Mosholu Parkway to Hull Avenue, made another U-turn and headed west toward Grand Concourse.
Runners then turned left onto Grand Concourse and headed south to 161st Street.
From there, they turned right and continued toward the finish line, crossing River Avenue and the subway overpass to complete the 10-mile race.
The event brought New York Road Runners back to the borough where the organization got its start. NYRR was founded in 1958 at Macombs Dam Park in the Bronx and now hosts 60 adult and youth races annually, including the TCS New York City Marathon.
More than a dozen local Bronx run clubs took part in this year's race, including Bronx Burners Run Club, Bronx Sole, Boogie Down Bronx Runners, Run the Neck and Van Cortlandt Track Club.
"The New Balance Bronx 10 Mile is about so much more than the miles - it's a commemoration of our genesis, of the essence of the Bronx, and of the people who make this community so special," said Rob Simmelkjaer, CEO of NYRR.
NYRR also hosted the third-annual Boogie Down Kids Run for hundreds of children ages 2 to 18.
The free event included a run along Grand Concourse and a field day-style festival in Joyce Kilmer Park. It is one of more than 20 free Rising New York Road Runners youth events held throughout the year.
