Experience a scenic 5K CROSS-COUNTRY COURSE through trails, roads, and fields, guided by the powerful symbolism of the lighthouse as a beacon of HOPE and the bridge as a connection to education and support. This event raises awareness about online safety with the Prevention Team/Safe Harbour NY Essex County while encouraging personal connection and well-being through the NYS Parks Wellness Challenge: Get Offline, Get Outside.

There is a 2 Mile Fun Run/Walk option along the scenic 5K CROSS-COUNTRY COURSE to encourage family participation.

_RUN/WALK TOGETHER, MAKING MEMORIES ONE MILE AT A TIME_

For the safety and enjoyment of all, youth participants age 15 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver (parent, guardian, or responsible adult) throughout the entire event. This is a family-friendly walk/run, and we invite caregivers to join the fun, support their youth, and make great memories together!
