THIS YEAR WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT RACE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE EASTCHESTER VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE CORPS (EVAC). EVAC IS A NON-PROFIT VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDING EMERGENCY SERVICES TO THE TUCKAHOE/EASTCHESTER/BRONXVILLE COMMUNITIES SINCE 1952. IN ADDITION THEY OFFER CPR COURSES AND VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCES TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY. PLEASE HELP US RAISE FUNDS FOR THIS EXTREMELY WORTHY VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD! LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM HERE https://www.eastchesterems.com.

Bib and premium pick up will be at the Community Center the day before the race Saturday September 16th from 2pm to 5 pm. Parking is free during these hours. You must pick up your premium in person. If you are from out of town and cannot make it the day before we will do our best to accommodate you. Please contact the race director at [email protected]. Shipping will not be available. Awards will be given out directly after the race and if weather accommodates we will hold the ceremony outside.

If you plan to run for the fastest adult-child team please identify yourselves by setting up a team in advance. Children must be 12 or younger and adults must be 18 or older.

We will again have the Race Directors Award for Most Enthusiastic Team. This award is given at the discretion of the race director for participation and overall spirit.

You can run with a baby jogger but you must start in the back of the pack of the runners and before the walkers. We will not have dogs in the race. It's too much risk with leashes etc, but you can come cheer runners on with your furry friend, just please keep them tightly leashed!

- 5K Race: Top 3 male, female and non-binary finishers in the following categories: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79 and 80+
