ShortcaKe 4K at Abbott Farms

SHORTCAKE 4K AT ABBOTT FARMS
June 13, 2020 | 9:00 AM

The ShortcaKe 4K is the second race event in the Dick's Sporting Goods Family Fit Running Series for the 2020 running season. We all run for different reasons why not add "Running for Shortcake" to the list.

Presented by Northside Collision, the ShortcaKe 4K to benefit Sunshine Horses will be at Abbott Farms in Baldwinsville, NY and will coincide with strawberry season in CNY. All finishers receive a fresh strawberry shortcake as a reward for job well done!  The first 150 registrants also receive a custom "I run for Shortcake" race shirt and custom buff (face covering) and individual hand sanitizer. :

COVID 19 UPDATE: In lieu of the finisher medal that we originally planned, we decided that a really cool buff and hand sanitizer would be very useful to help us all be more safe!

Runner's safety is our priority! So that we are in compliance with state & county recommendations we (and/or Abbott's Farm) are doing the following:

>>>handing out a custom buff (face covering) to each runner prior to the race- we ask that everyone where a face covering when they can't be more than 6' away from others- including at the start of the race until everyone gets running/walking/spaced apart and then it will be safe to lower the buff.

>>>handing out individual hand sanitizer and other items to each runner prior to the race Courtesy of FidelisCare

>>>adding more hand washing stations

>>>adding two more start times (8:40 AM & 9:20 AM) to the original start time of 9:00 AM

>>>all start times are capped at 50 runners/walkers

>>>adding specific pedestrian patterns at the race site

Please keep in mind: If you are not comfortable being at the site and running on Race Day, we have added a virtual option. If you would like to transfer to the virtual option, you can do that by signing onto your RunSignUp account. Go to "Profile" upper right corner and then click on transfer event. If you need help, email willowrunningNY@gmail.com.

Stick around after the race for a fun filled day at Abbott Farms -have lunch (runners get a $3 off coupon), feed the goats and enjoy fun activities for the kids. It's strawberry season!

The race event will benefit Sunshine Horses, a not-for-profit organization helping horses, helping people. Sunshine Horses is an independent agency and rescue facility that rehabilitates, retrains and seeks adoptions for  retired Standard bred race horses.
