The Eaton 5K Run/Walk is an annual road race held in Eaton, New York. In 2026, the event marks its 29th year of operation. The race follows a 5K course that is primarily flat with a few segments of rolling hills. The event is USATF sanctioned and serves as a participant in the Rt.20 Road Challenge Series.
Participants can choose to complete the 5K distance by either running or walking. The course is a certified route, and the race is described as a competitive small-town event. Liability insurance regulations specify that no dogs are permitted at the event.
Awards are presented to various participants based on their performance in the race. Trophies are given to the overall male and female winners. Additionally, ribbons are awarded to the first, second, and third-place finishers within specific age group categories for both male and female divisions.
The event utilizes the Eaton Fire House on Mechanic Street as its central location. Proceeds from the race are designated to benefit the Eaton Fire Department and the Stephanie Baron Memorial Fund.
