About the race
The Community Chest of Port Washington Thanksgiving Day 5 mile Run is a longstanding Port Washington road race held on Thanksgiving Day that celebrates more than five decades of racing. The route runs through the rolling hills of Sands Point and Port Washington, with the final two miles descending to a flat finish at Manorhaven Beach Park overlooking Manhasset Bay. The event benefits the Community Chest of Port Washington and the local network of charities it supports.
