Run for the Rescue 5K Trail Run/Walk
This event is a 5K trail run and walk held at Blydenburgh County Park Campground Playground on Veterans Memorial Highway in Smithtown, NY. Registration is not yet open.
The course follows park trails and mixes sand, dirt roads, hard packed trails and some pavement. The park allows dogs; animals must be on a leash, must not be left unattended, and participants with dogs are asked to start at the back of the pack for safety.
Event amenities include an informal bag check area in the staging zone, bathrooms within a few minutes walk of the start and finish, hydration at the finish, and refreshments provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Bib pickup is available in person at event staff locations near Picnic Areas 1-5, and virtual participants receive mailed bibs; mailed bibs may take several days to arrive after late sign up.
Parking guidance notes a primary lot at Picnic Areas 1-5 reached from the Veteran's Highway entrance, with additional parking at the boat launch and other park areas. Live online results, same-day finish line photos and event videos are provided. Age group recognition is awarded to overall top finishers and to top finishers in standard age brackets. A portion of event proceeds benefits Last Chance Animal Rescue, and donations and fundraising directly impact that organization. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
