Life Worth Living 5K and WALK - Abbott Farms, Baldwinsville
The Life Worth Living 5K and WALK takes place on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at Abbott Farms in Baldwinsville, NY. The event raises awareness to prevent suicide and is held in memory of a former Abbott Farms employee who died by suicide.
Distances and options:
- 5K
- Walk
- 5K Virtual
The 5K course uses a mix of road and trail and runs through several areas of the farm. The route includes roads through the housing development behind Abbott Farms and passes a memorial orchard that recognizes more than 80 locally connected people who lost their lives to suicide. Runners are timed using timing chips.
On-site activities at Abbott Farms include ice cream, bakery goods, berry picking, a barnyard with baby animals, and the Cider House Grille offering a full menu of grilled entrees and treats.
A local memorial fund registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit directs proceeds toward local suicide-prevention efforts. The fund has raised more than $170,000 to support community programs, created an endowment to support Upstate Medical University’s Psychiatry High Risk Program, and contributes to a Mental Health Respite Program at Elmcrest Children’s Center.
Packet pick-up locations and times are published for in-person registration and race-day pick-up; same-day registration does not guarantee a shirt or medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
