2nd Annual Give Life NY 5K
The Give Life NY 5K Run/Walk is an athletic event held at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, New York. Presented by Thrivewell Infusion, the event is organized by a committee composed of organ donors and recipients. The primary objective of the gathering is to raise awareness for organ donation through community participation in physical activity.
Participants can choose from different formats and distances depending on their preferences:
- 5K Run/Walk: A standard 5-kilometer course located within the park grounds.
- 5K Virtual Run/Walk: An off-site option for participants to complete the distance remotely.
- Kids 1/4 Mile Fun Run: A short-distance event specifically for children.
This event is open to the general public. Participation is not restricted to those directly involved in organ donation, and there are no specific qualification requirements for entry. The physical course is centered around the Field House area of Eisenhower Park. For those participating in the virtual format, results reporting opens in early October. The in-person 5K and virtual options involve a registration fee, while the kids' short-distance run is provided at no cost. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
