Run for A Good Cause!
Lace-up those running shoes and join us for our post-Thanksgiving Grateful Gallop! After all that feasting, it's time to burn off the pumpkin pie and give back to our community! On Saturday, 11/30, at 9 AM, we're hitting the pavement for a timed 5K to benefit Dutchess Outreach.
Here’s the best part—$25 of your registration fee will go directly to Dutchess Outreach! Let’s give back through running and make this holiday season a little brighter for those in our community!
We will also be collecting donations for Dutchess Outreach on race day. Those who donate will be entered to win one of several $10 Fleet Feet bucks, which we will raffle off at the end of the event. Below is a list of needed items:
- Non-perishable food items that are at least 6 months from expiration and are in original undamaged packaging
- Diapers (any size) and baby wipes
- Baby formula especially Enfamil
- New & unopened personal hygiene items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, body wash, and body lotion.
The race registration prices are:
- $30 (+Run Signup fees) through Thursday, 11/28
- $35 (+Run Signup fees) on Friday, 11/29
- $40 (+Run Signup fees) on race day, 11/30
Race SWAG
Since this event is a fundraiser, we're keeping the tradition alive with 100% recycled bibs from previous Fleet Feet events. This year, the first 100 participants will also get one of our awesome BOCO pom-pom hats from our Winter Warriors accountability challenge!
And let's talk medals - this year, we're excited to offer custom, handmade finishers medals (pics coming soon)! Plus, we've got custom, handmade age group awards (10-year age groups). With a smaller race field, your chances of snagging one are better than ever!*
Important note about the custom handmade medals: you must register BEFORE Sunday, 11/24, to receive one of these finisher medals. Since this event is a fundraiser, we can't commit to buying additional medals for those who don't register before this date.
*Please verify that your gender and date of birth are correct in Run Signup, as any errors will impact age group awards.
Brooks Donation Challenge
Our partners at Brooks are jumping in on the support for Dutchess Outreach!
Brooks will be at the race with the two great demo shoes, the Hyperion Max 2 and the newly updated Adrenaline. For every pair of shoes tried, Brooks will donate five needed items to Dutchess Outreach!
Who wouldn't want to try out great Brooks running shoes for a good cause?!
Race Course
The 5K timed run will start and end at Stringham Park in the town of Lagrangeville. The course map can be found here.
Participants will start with a loop around the pond, exit the park by making a left on Stringham Road, take a left on Vincent, make a right on Exeter, loop back onto Stringham Road, head back into the park, and then finally end with a lap around the pond. The course is flat however the roads are open to traffic and participants should use caution when registering minors or others who may not be comfortable running on the road with cars.
