The run will begin in front of the Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie store at 9:00 a.m. We will make a couple of quick announcements, take a group picture, and then get participants on their way.

The run/walk will take place in the Shoppes at South Hills parking lot, and while traffic is generally very light this time of day, the roads are completely open to vehicles. Stroller participation is fine as long as you are comfortable with the risk of being on roads that are open to traffic. Those with strollers should also use extreme caution when approaching other runners and allow ample space, particularly on hills. We ask that those with strollers start toward the back so the large pack has a chance to spread out a bit and minimize the risk of injury. Also, please be aware that only registered participants will receive bibs, and participants will be required to show their bibs to get their medals.

The in-person 5k is an UNTIMED fun run/walk. This event is open to all paces, levels, and abilities, including those working toward a 5K goal. 

An email will be sent on Friday, 6/26, with additional event details, including packet pickup information. Please ensure that your Run Signup account is linked to a VALID email address you regularly check so you do not miss important communications. 

Participants can choose from a Men's/Unisex T-Shirt or a Women's T-Shirt. All the tees run true to size, so there's no need to size up. To keep race costs low, we order the exact number of shirts needed and are unfortunately unable to accommodate size changes once the order is placed. Wearing your "Run with Pride" shirt on the day of the event is highly encouraged!   

We will not have a waitlist for this event, and we are expecting it to sell out. If you are considering registering, don't wait and miss out! 

This run takes place entirely in the Shoppes at South Hills Parking lot. If you are looking for additional information beyond that, this probably isn't an event for you. :) 

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. 

Since race supplies are ordered as registrations come in, we are unable to offer refunds or transfers to another event. You can transfer your registration for this event per the above question/instructions, and you can pick up your SWAG even if you don't make it to the event.

The event will happen rain or shine, and we would only delay the start time (or cancel) if there were dangerous conditions such as thunder and lightning. We generally do not cancel our events based on forecasts. 

Yes, you can! We just ask that you please pick it up before July 5th, when anything remaining will be repurposed. 

Yes, we will have a cooler of water and cups near the start/finish. Runners will also pass through this area during the run.  

Please email us at info@fleetfeetpoughkeepsie.com or click the "Questions" button below, and someone from our Events team will get back to you promptly. This method of communication is preferred over calling the store, as our fitters are usually busy assisting customers and most are not well-versed in the specifics of every event.
