Event summary

Join us on Saturday, May 10, 2025, for the exhilarating St. James 5 Mile Challenge and 5K Fun Run/Walk, set against the picturesque backdrop of St James, Suffolk! This exciting event features a challenging 5-mile course that kicks off with an uphill climb, followed by scenic rolling hills through the charming village of Head of the Harbor. Runners will tackle the iconic Cordwood Path, a steep half-mile incline, before enjoying a flat and fast finish.

Whether you're ready to conquer the distance or prefer a leisurely stroll with friends and family, your participation supports a fantastic cause. Proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro, contributing to the construction of a much-needed $30 million Ronald McDonald House at Stony Brook Children's Hospital. This vital resource will keep families close to their children during medical treatment, reinforcing the idea that "the house that love built" is a community effort. Donโ€™t miss out on this opportunity to stay active while making a difference in the lives of families in Suffolk County!

Organiser's Description

The St James 5 mile challenge is a doozie! The new course starts with an uphill climb leveling off at the half mile mark. From here you have 3 miles of rolling hills through the scenic village of Head of the Harbor before you face the iconic Cordwood Path, which is 1/2 mile incline that would be classified as steep. At the top of the hill you are rewarded with a flat and fast finish.

Whether it is a challenging run or a fun walk (shorter route!), every step brings us closer to families in Suffolk County! Support Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro (RMHC NYM)! By registering today, you will be supporting RMHC NYMs Capital Campaign to build a new $30M Ronald McDonald House at Stony Brook Childrens [https://www.rmhcnym.org/capitalcampaign/]. This new House will keep families seeking medical treatment for their sick children near the care they need and the families they love.

90% of top childrens hospitals around the world are home to at least one RMHC core program. Each Ronald McDonald House is built and sustained with grassroots community support, which is why we are "the house that love built." This new House will be the only one in all of Suffolk County and it is much needed. Whether you are joining us for the race up the beloved Cordwood Path or walking with your family and friends, we thank you for your support!
