Event Overview
The Grateful for Graham 5k Run / Walk is organized by the Utica Roadrunners. This event raises funds for the EB Research Partnership, supporting research for a cure and treatments for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin disorder. All proceeds from the event go directly to this cause.
Event Details
The event is a 5 km "out and back" run and walk. The course is described as fairly flat and follows the Rayhill Memorial (Route 840) Trail. It starts and finishes at the trailhead near BOCES on Middle Settlement Road in New Hartford, New York. Parking is available in the nearby BOCES parking lot.

There is also a special stroller division with awards for the fastest female and male participants pushing a child.
