Join us for the exciting Stephen's Run 6K on Sunday, August 2, 2026, in the picturesque Bemus Point, Chautauqua! This cross country race, held on the stunning trails of Long Point State Park, honors the memory of Stephen Pangborn, a passionate Maple Grove cross country runner who touched many lives. Participants will not only enjoy a fantastic 6K trail race but also contribute to a meaningful cause, as proceeds benefit the Stephen Pangborn Memorial Scholarship Fund.

As part of the Chautauqua Striders 2026 Runner of the Year Series, this event promises a vibrant atmosphere with overall and age group prizes up for grabs. Runners can look forward to receiving event shirts if registered by July 19, along with light refreshments after the race. Registration opens at 8:00 AM, and entry fees are just $30, with multiple payment options available. A $7 gate charge applies for entering the state park, but parking at the end of Lakeside Drive allows for a scenic walk, run, or bike ride to the marina where the race begins. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to run for a great cause in a beautiful setting!
