Over the Bridge 5K and 10K Run/Walk
This community road event takes place on September 19, 2026 in Hampton Bays, New York, with the Hampton Bays Middle School serving as the event site. The race is presented in honor of J. Ronald Scott and is organized by the Hampton Bays Lions Club.
Distances offered:
- 5K
- 10K
The event includes refreshments, awards, and event tees for the first 200 participants. Awards are given to the top male and female overall in each distance and to the top three male and female finishers in standard age divisions from 11-19 through 70 plus.
Participants must pick up bibs at Hampton Bays Middle School so they can be transported to the starting area at Warner’s Park on the south side of the Ponquogue Bridge. Personalized bibs are available for those who register in advance, and last-minute registrants receive their bib information by text.
The course runs along residential streets and over the Ponquogue Bridge, offering views of the Atlantic Ocean, Shinnecock Inlet, and Shinnecock Bay. The route is generally flat and fast but includes the bridge crossing. The course may be changed for safety if weather or road conditions require it.
Roller blades, headphones, and animals are not permitted. Participants younger than twelve years must be accompanied by an adult.
The Hampton Bays Lions Club uses proceeds to support local charitable programs including guide dog and veterans initiatives, scholarships, food pantries, and youth groups. Live results, same-day finish line photos, and event video are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
