About the race
The Michelle Bonura Memorial 5K Run/Walk is a community road event scheduled for June 2027 in Shoreham, New York. The event is organized in association with the Michelle Bonura Memorial Foundation, which supports nonprofit organizations and a scholarship fund for high school students pursuing careers in physical education.
All finishers receive a medal. The race uses electronic timing with age graded results and offers free finish line photos and a finisher certificate. Participants may receive a top quality tech shirt, with a guaranteed shirt cutoff listed by the organizer. Refreshments listed for finish area distribution include bagels, pizza, bananas, ice cream, snacks, cookies and drinks. A free raffle is held for registered participants and gift certificates are awarded to many raffle winners. Personalized bibs are available for those registered three weeks in advance. Virtual participants may receive race packets by mail; the shipping window ranges from one week prior to the event to one week after.
Awards include top three male and female overall placings with plaques and cash prizes, top three male and female in multiple age groups from 14 and under through 90 plus, masters and senior masters age graded plaques, wheelchair division awards, and team competition prizes. The team competition requires at least three members per team, allows male or female teams, requires a team captain and team name, and scores teams by the top three actual finishing times.
Parking and in person packet pickup are centered at the Tesla Science Center, 5 Randall Road, Shoreham, NY 11786. The 5K course lists a start on John Street 1,000 feet east of Miller Avenue and a finish at the bottom of Southgate. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
