Riggie Run, Walk & Riggiefest
The Riggie Run, Walk & Riggiefest is an annual event that raises funds for Sitrin’s Military Program, which provides complimentary care and transitional support to post-9/11 veterans and service members. The 5th Annual event takes place on Sunday, October 10, 2027, at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute campus and includes running, wheelchair, walking, and kids race options.
Distances and event options:
- 5K Run
- 5K Riggie Challenge (requires consuming one bowl of chicken riggies at the halfway point)
- 5K Wheelchair Race
- 5K Wheelchair Riggie Challenge
- 2-Mile Walk
- 1-Mile Kids Run
The 5K Run and 5K Wheelchair Race are chip timed to provide accurate finish times and immediate results. Age division prizes will be awarded to winners. After the Run and Walk there is a Riggiefest in the Wildcat Field House where local restaurants present entries of the Utica riggies dish. Paid participants may taste the entries at no additional cost and cast a vote for the best riggies. Community members may attend Riggiefest with an entry fee structure of $10 for adults, $5 for children age 6 to 11, and free for children 5 and under.
