About the race
The Ellis Cardiac Classic is the 44th annual charitable running and walking event held in Schenectady, New York, at Central Park. The weekend’s activities include a 5K road race, a 2-mile Wellness Walk, and a 1-mile Duck Pond Kids Fun Run, all part of a longtime Thanksgiving tradition. The course centers on Central Park, with a family-friendly atmosphere that attracts local runners and spectators.
Proceeds support Ellis Medicine’s cardiac program, and the event is supported by a slate of sponsors. Past years’ photos and results highlight a community-driven, festive competition in snowy New York landscapes. The event also invites volunteers and participants to engage in fundraising.
