52nd Annual LBI Commemorative 18 Mile Run Fundraiser + 12K Run/Walk Fundraiser

Sunday, October 8th, 2023

52 years of running on LBI!!! 

Our 52nd anniversary 18 Mile Race starts at 10:00 AM in Holgate, the 12K starts at 10:0am in Holgate.

The course is a straight, flat, point-to-point run heading North on Long Beach Blvd.

Air temperature in October on LBI is approximately 65 degrees, winds generally coming from the South.

Applications are available at the Front Desk of the Community Center and a printable version online at www.stfranciscenterlbi.org.

Registration will open up Friday April 21st both in person and online.

Final registration and race-packet pickup will be held from 2:00p to 7:00p on Saturday October 12 and from 7:00a to 9:00a on Sunday October 13. 

If possible, please register by September 15th to help us accurately order the proper amount of t-shirt sizes and medals for all of our participants. Registering early is a huge help!

The funds raised from this year’s race go directly towards improving our programs here at the St. Francis Community Center!

Looking to take part in the 18 Mile Run weekend festivities but not quite ready to take on the full 18 miles? In addition to our normally hosted 18 Mile Run, there will be a separate 12K (about 7.5 mile) fundraiser that will take place from the start line and head directly to the St. Francis Center for the finish line! This event is perfect for those interested in testing themselves at a race distance longer than a usual 5K or someone looking for a fitness walk that offers water stations and race course supervision
