Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the Cheesy 5K on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, in the charming town of Little Falls, Herkimer! This festive race is part of the annual Little Falls Cheese Festival, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Once hailed as the cheese capital of America in the 1800s, Little Falls invites you to experience the scenic beauty of the Empire Trail as you dash through a picturesque 5K course, starting at 9 AM—just one hour before the festival kicks off.

The Cheesy 5K is not just a race; it’s a delightful way to kickstart a day filled with cheesy indulgence and community spirit. With a cap of 250 entrants, be sure to secure your spot early! The first 150 registrants will receive a custom cheesy 5K shirt, making this an event you won’t want to miss. Join us for a day of fun, fitness, and fabulous cheese at one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year!
