24-Hour Fight Against Hunger
The 24-Hour Fight Against Hunger is a community fundraising event held November 20-21 2026 to support the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York. The event is a nonstop 24 hour run where participants complete a one-mile loop repeatedly. Participants may run, jog, or walk and may join for any portion of the 24 hours; attendance for the full period is not required. The event notes recognition for participants who reach 50k.
Registration carries a $20 fee that provides access to hourly brand-sponsored segments, themed challenges, and multiple raffle opportunities. Each completed lap earns a raffle entry. Prize donors listed include Saucony, ON, New Balance, Mizuno, Brooks, Hoka, ASICS and various local businesses. Proceeds from registration, raffles, and local partners are directed to the Regional Food Bank.
Program elements include glow-in-the-dark miles, sunrise runs, themed laps such as happy hour, and other hourly segments. The hosting store will remain open throughout the 24 hours. The event proceeds rain or shine; in hazardous weather participants are advised to seek shelter. Additional parking is available next to Professor Javas. Attendees are asked to use caution when parking and when walking to and from parking areas. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
