We All Scream For Ice Cream!
Get ready for a scoop of fun! Join us on Monday, 7/20, at 6:00 p.m. as we celebrate National Ice Cream Day (a day late, but who's counting when there's ice cream involved?). This event is always a fan favorite, and it's sure to be an absolute blast!
Lace up your sneakers for our untimed fun run/walk around the Shoppes at South Hills Shopping Center. We've got a suggested 5K route mapped out, but the distance is totally up to you! Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or thinking about tackling your first 5K, this low-key event is perfect for all levels and paces.
And what's a National Ice Cream Day celebration without the main event? The Frozen Caboose ice cream truck will be on-site to help you chill out after your run with some delicious treats! You won't want to miss out on this sweet evening!
With SWAG Sprinkled On Top
Your registration fee includes a great lineup of race-day goodies:

After you cross the finish line, celebrate with a complimentary ice cream from the Frozen Caboose ice cream truck. Your bib must be visible to score this treat!
Important Registration Deadline
Our final shirt order must be submitted on Monday, 7/13. Register before then to guarantee your preferred shirt size. After that date, availability will be very limited, and some sizes may sell out completely.
New Balance Sweetness
We're excited that New Balance is coming back again to join our fun run with a selection of their latest and greatest demo shoes. This is your chance to try before you buy and experience the comfort and support of various New Balance styles, absolutely FREE! Plus, they're bringing along some other fun goodies to sweeten the deal.
FAQs
Yes, strollers are allowed. That said, just a heads-up: the run/walk is taking place in the parking lot of the Shoppes at South Hills, and the roads will be open to cars. So, if you're rolling with a stroller, just be cool with that and super careful, especially around other folks and when you're going up or down hills – give everyone some space. If you've got a stroller, we ask that you hang back a bit at the start so the crowd can spread out.
No. This 5k is an untimed fun run. It is completely open to all paces, levels, and abilities, including those working toward a 5K goal.
No. This run takes place entirely in the Shoppes at South Hills Parking lot. If you're looking for additional information beyond that, this probably isn't an event for you.
Bib and shirt pick-up will be at Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie, likely starting on Sunday, 7/19. An email with additional details will be sent on Saturday, 7/18. Please don't stop by the store before this email goes out, or you will be disappointed that we don't have your SWAG available.
You can choose from a Men's/Unisex T-Shirt or a Ladies' Muscle Tank. The muscle tank style features deep, low armholes. All the tanks and tees run true to size. To keep race costs low, we order the exact number of shirts we need and are unfortunately unable to accommodate size changes once the order is placed. Most participants wear their ice cream run shirts on race day, which is highly encouraged!
No. We will not have a waitlist for this event, which generally sells out. If you are considering registering, don't wait and miss out!
Yes! Since this is an untimed fun run, you can transfer your registration. If you are reselling your space, you would handle that on your end; we don't resell spaces. Also, please note that shirt sizes cannot be adjusted as shirts are ordered at the time of registration.
No. Unfortunately, we're unable to offer refunds or transfers to other events. Race supplies are ordered as registrations come in. Per the above question, you can transfer your registration for this event to someone else. You can also pick up your SWAG even if you don't make it to the event.
The event will happen rain or shine, and we will only delay the start time or cancel if dangerous conditions, such as thunder and lightning, occur.
Yes, you can. Ice Cream Run SWAG can be picked up at any time during regular store hours. We will hold onto it until Monday, 7/27. After that, all unclaimed SWAG will be repurposed.
Yes. We will have a cooler of water and cups near the start/finish area.
