Michael J. Pitney Farm Run
The Michael J. Pitney Farm Run is a community running event at Pitney Meadows Community Farm in Saratoga Springs, NY. The event includes multiple race distances and honors the memory of Michael J. Pitney, whose connection to the land is reflected in a 1.7-mile trail loop at the farm named in his honor.
Race distances:
- 5K on mixed surfaces
- 1 mile kids run for ages 7 to 11
- 0.5 mile youth fun run
The 5K course runs across fields and trails with a mix of grass and stone dust. The route is primarily flat with gentle rolling sections, and features wide, smooth trails with no road crossings. Open sightlines near the start and finish make the course easy for spectators to follow. The Farm Run is held in conjunction with the Saratoga XC Invitational and takes place on the farm grounds.
All proceeds from the Michael J. Pitney Farm Run support the mission and programming of Pitney Meadows Community Farm, a community based nonprofit organization. The description focuses on the event setting, course surfaces and layout, and the event's role in supporting the farm. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
