Runner in Red 5K Run/Walk 2027

The Runner in Red 5K Run/Walk is a charity road race scheduled for March 2027 at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. The 5K uses a USATF certified course and the event also includes a free kids fun run.

The event benefits Runner in Red / Barb’s Beer Foundation, a 501c3 charity that raises funds to cure lung cancer. The race draws its name and purpose from the Boston Marathon mystery novel "Runner in Red," which explores the history of women’s running and supports fundraising for lung cancer research.

Awards are given to overall winners and age-group top finishers. Overall male and female winners receive trophies, top three male and female finishers in each age group receive medals, and there is a largest team trophy. Age groups listed include 10 and under, 11-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80 plus.

Bib pickup is available in person on site before the event; virtual bibs are shipped to participants with a shipping window from one week before the event to one week after. Live online, email, and text results are provided, along with free video and same-day finish line photos. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
