Earth Day Half Marathon, 5K & Relay

EARTH DAY HALF MARATHON, 5K Relay      
April 21, 2024
The Earth Day Half Marathon 5K will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary in 2024. This event has quickly become one of CNY’s most looked forward to springtime races! Along with some of the best swag out there, all participants get a tree to plant! Runners love the connection to the countryside setting. As you run along the low-traffic country roads, you’ll be rewarded with amazing views of rolling farmland, pastures with cows and horses and the lookout at Beaver Lake. The race start/finish and post-race fest are at the Emmi Farm’s Greenhouse with lots of parking, conveniently nearby- within walking distance.
The half marathon is mostly a loop course on low-traffic, country roads with many friendly neighbors that come out to cheer you on! The course is described as having rolling hills with a few good ones between Mile 8/9. The Half Marathon Relay is a 2 person relay with each member of the team running 6.55 miles (1/4 marathon). The 5K is an out back along two fairly flat stretches of country road.
The Earth Day Half Marathon, Relay 5K event benefits the Baldwinsville Meals on Wheels, the Baldwinsville Sports Booster Clubs and other local not for profit groups.
