Dirty Sock 10K Run/Walk
The Dirty Sock Run is a 10K race held on the Babylon Village trails. The course follows Park Avenue past Southard’s Pond, moves north toward Belmont State Park, wraps around Belmont Lake, and returns through wooded trails. The route is USATF certified and sanctioned, mostly flat, mostly on trail with about 0.2 mile of paved surface, and includes water stops and varied terrain.
The event is part of the USATF Long Island Track and Field Cross Country Series and raises funds for local food pantries and soup kitchens through the Babylon Rotary Foundation (501c3). Registration is not yet open for the upcoming event.
Amenities for participants with a racing bib include complimentary beer and snacks, post-race refreshments, and guaranteed socks for the first 500 registered runners. Live online/email/text results, free video, and same-day finish-line photos are provided.
Awards include top three male and female overall finishers with gift-card prizes, the Joe Farina Award for the first male and female Babylon Village resident finisher, and top three male and female finishers in age groups 10 & under, 11-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, and 70+.
