Runner in Red 5K Run/Walk
The Runner in Red 5K Run/Walk is a community 5 kilometer event held at Eisenhower Park Field #2 in East Meadow. Registration is not yet open and will open ahead of the event date listed by the organizer. The course is USATF certified and a course map is provided by the organizers.
The event benefits Runner in Red / Barb's Beer Foundation, a 501c3 charity that raises funds to cure lung cancer. Sales of the novel "Runner in Red" and race proceeds support the beneficiary. A free Barb's Beer will be offered to participants aged 21 and over. A free kids fun run is also part of the event program.
Awards include trophies for top overall female and male finishers, medals for the top three in multiple age groups from 10 and under through 80 plus, and a Largest Team trophy. Bib pickup is available in person starting one hour before the event start time; virtual entries receive bibs by shipping within a window that ranges from one week before to one week after the event. Participants who register within 24 hours of bib pickup may receive their bib number by text quickly, and registering at least three weeks before the event allows for a personalized race number.
Live online, email, and text results are provided, along with same-day finish line photos and video. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
