Long Island 6 Hour 60th Birthday Celebration Run and Relay (memorial)
The event is a six-hour timed run and relay held on September 27, 2026 at Belmont Lake State Park in West Babylon, NY. Participants run or walk on a flat scenic course that follows a mostly dirt path around the lake. The lap length is 2.50 mile, which places an aid station at the end of each loop.
Entries are offered for individual runners and for relay teams. Team categories include male, female, and coed teams of four and teams of six. Relay team structure means each member rotates through the course; team-of-four members average about 90 minutes of running or walking each, and team-of-six members average about 60 minutes each. There are post-event food and drink provisions for participants.
Every registrant receives a commemorative crewneck sweatshirt, and registrants from the event's class year receive a commemorative hooded sweatshirt. Personalized bibs are available for those registered at least three weeks in advance. Results are provided live, by text, and by email; finish-line and course photos are offered free of charge.
Awards recognize top overall men and women, top male, female, and coed teams in the four- and six-person divisions, top performers in the event’s featured class year, and medals are given to all runners who complete at least 26.2 miles. A portion of proceeds supports the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and the Northport Running Club Youth Program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
