Join us for the 2026 Earn Your Square Run at Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie, powered by Brooks!
We’re kicking things off on Sunday, February 8, at 9:00 a.m. at the Shoppes at South Hills (1895 South Road, Poughkeepsie, NY) for a run that’s equal parts fun and festive.
The cost to play is $10, but here’s the best part: show up, and you’ll score it right back as $10 in Fleet Feet Bucks.
- ⚡This $10 buy-in keeps the roster full, the energy high, and the event running smoothly, just like your favorite game day matchup. Come for the run, stay for the fun, and earn your square before kickoff! 🎉
‼️This event is capped at 100 participants, and it’s a hot ticket—so sign up soon!‼️
📋Pre-Game Playbook
We’ve laid out a 1-ish mile loop for you to walk, jog, or sprint your way to Super Bowl glory.
The best part? Every loop you complete earns you a square on one of our Super Bowl boards! 🎉 The fun keeps going until all the squares are filled.
With 5 boards/500 squares up for grabs, the competition is fierce, and the prizes are sweet. Thanks to our friends at Brooks, lucky winners will snag adult-size goodies like gloves, socks, apparel, and more! 🧤🧦👕
Here’s how it works:
-
After each loop, we will mark your bib # in an available square.
- Score DOUBLE squares if you have a multiplier bracelet OR you rock the Brooks Glycerin Flex! 🏈👟 (Details below)
-
Before the big game (AKA The Super Bowl), we’ll randomly draw numbers and post the completed boards on Facebook and Instagram so that you can follow the action during the Big Game! 📲✨
Prizes will be awarded after each quarter of the Big Game 🏈🎉!
Winners will be announced on our social media channels and will receive a text or email when their prize is ready for pick-up. Game on! 🏆✨
Grab Your Bib & Bucks! 🏃♂️💵✨
Bib and Fleet Feet Bucks will be available for pickup between 8:00 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, 2/8, before the run kicks off. There is no pickup available before or after that time frame.
Each participant must pick up their own bib and Fleet Feet Bucks. You may not pick up a bib and Fleet Feet Bucks for someone else. Just like football, there are rules of the game, and to earn your Fleet Feet Bucks, you must be at the event to claim them.
Bib pick-up will close at 8:45 a.m. NO EXCEPTIONS. Our team will need to move on to other event-related logistics at that time. Thanks for adhering to this; it helps us keep things running smoothly! 🏃♀️🏈

🤔 FAQs
There is no alternate date for this run since the Super Bowl game is that evening. We would cancel only if road conditions are too treacherous for travel. Participants should use their judgment for what feels safe for them.
This run/walk takes place in the Shoppes at South Hills parking lot, and the roads will be open to cars, making it unsuitable for small children. Please use your best judgment when registering minors for this event. As a reminder, the Brooks prizes are adult sizes.
Yes, but the run/walk takes place in the Shoppes at South Hills parking lot, and the roads will be open to cars. So, if you're rolling with a stroller, just be 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. Unfortunately, bib transfers are not allowed for this event. As noted above, if you email us by 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 2/6, we will issue a refund and open up your spot for someone else. The email address is: info@fleetfeetpoughkeepsie.com.
We will not have a waitlist for this event.
If you anticipate needing any water or fuel, you should bring what you'll need. We won't be providing that for this event. You can easily store your stuff near the start/finish for easy access after each loop.
We will have a portable toilet near the side entrance of the store available for use during the event.
