Eastchester 5K
The Eastchester 5K is a neighborhood tradition that takes place on the streets of Eastchester, New York. The event features a variety of distances designed for participants of different ages and abilities. All routes start and finish at Eastchester Town Hall, following courses through the local community.
The event includes the following distances:
- 5K Run and Walk
- 1K Kids Race
- 200-Yard Tot Trot
The 5K route consists of a flat neighborhood loop that is described as spectator-friendly. It is a chip-timed event that welcomes both runners and walkers. For younger participants, the 1K race provides a self-contained loop kept close to the starting line. The 200-Yard Tot Trot is a short sprint specifically for the smallest athletes.
This event serves as a fundraiser for local causes. Proceeds stay within the community to fund schools, students, and neighborhood initiatives. Beneficiaries for the 2026 edition include the Eastchester EVAC for new medical equipment, the Eastchester Environmental Committee for garden renovations, and the Eastchester High School Band for new equipment. The race is supported by various local businesses and organized by a local board. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
