Naples Youth Corp 5k/10k Run
The Naples Youth Corp 5k/10k Run is an annual community run and walk held in Naples, NY at 9 Academy St. The event supports the Naples Youth Corporation and has helped fund planning, design, and construction projects for the organization and its properties.
Distances offered:
- 5 km
- 10 km (includes Mt. Misery on the 10k loop only)
The event features a covered outdoor stage for music and announcements, with live performances by local musicians and youth subject to weather. A new Kid's Dash has two waves for younger children: ages 2 to 5 run first, followed by ages 6 to 10. No formal registration is required for the Kid's Dash; participants may provide an email address or register on race day.
Shirt and registration details are age dependent. Lightweight cotton race shirts will be available for purchase for adults and are provided free to youth. Technical shirts are available for purchase during packet pick up and on race day. Financial assistance is available for youth registrations. As in prior years, youth entries maintain reduced or waived fees.
The run and walk occur regardless of typical weather variations and continue to serve as a primary fundraiser for the Naples Youth Corporation. The organization states its mission to provide a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment for local youth and to develop property north of Academy Street for youth use.
