Miles for Miracles 5k Run & Walk
The Miles for Miracles event takes place at FT Proctor Park in Utica, New York. This athletic event supports the Rescue Mission of Utica, an organization that has provided assistance for over 135 years to individuals dealing with addiction, homelessness, mental health challenges, and food insecurity. Participants contribute to the funding of services such as emergency shelter, daily meals, and recovery programs.
The event features two primary distances:
- 5k Run
- 1 Mile Walk
The course follows a scenic route through the grounds of Proctor Park. For the 5k Run, professional timing services are provided, and awards are presented to overall winners as well as those in specific age groups. Participants in the 5k who register by mid-July are guaranteed an event t-shirt, while those participating in the 1 Mile Walk have the option to purchase shirts separately on the day of the event, subject to availability.
Packet pickup is available at the Rescue Mission of Utica's Administration Building on Genesee Street during the week leading up to the event, or at the park on the morning of the races. All proceeds directly support community programs aimed at providing hope and healing to residents in need. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
