Join us for the 43rd Annual Skunk Cabbage Classic on Sunday, March 29, 2026, in beautiful Ithaca, Tompkins! This iconic spring tradition invites runners of all levels to choose between the exhilarating 10K and the scenic half-marathon courses. Both routes wind through the picturesque Cornell campus, along a charming paved rail trail, and into the rolling countryside of Ellis Hollow, offering stunning views as you run.

As the skunk cabbages begin to bloom, hundreds of runners will gather to celebrate the arrival of spring and embrace the fun spirit of the event. This year, the theme is "Skunktimus Prime," featuring a towering running robot mascot that embodies the excitement of the race. Whether you’re aiming for a personal record or simply looking to enjoy a spirited run with friends, the Skunk Cabbage Classic promises a warm and welcoming atmosphere, complete with pre- and post-race festivities at Cornell's Barton Hall. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity—sign up today and be part of the fun!
