Landis Arboretum 5K Forest Run
The Landis Arboretum 5K Forest Run reaches its 20th year in 2026. This cross-country event consists of a 5K course that traverses the forests and meadows of the Arboretum in Esperance, New York. The route features a rolling terrain that provides participants with views of the Schoharie Valley.
The race is a sanctioned event by the USATF and is included in the USATF Trail Series and the Route 20 Challenge Series. The organizers use chip timing to record official results. Participants who register by July 20 receive a shirt as part of their entry.
Post-race amenities include refreshments and an awards ceremony. Awards are presented to runners based on 10-year age groups, and there are also categories for team competitions. The registration system utilizes age-based pricing to determine fees.
The Arboretum remains open after the run, allowing visitors to access various gardens, wildlife observation areas, and additional trails. Registration for the event is conducted exclusively online, as there is no registration available on the day of the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
