Stomp The Stigma 5K Run/Walk
Stomp The Stigma is a community 5K run and walk held on May 30, 2026 at Shorefront Park, 49 Smith Street, Patchogue, NY. The event includes both an in person 5K and a virtual participation option with a posting window that extends beyond the start date. Ages six and under are free.
The event is presented as a memorial race and coincides with Mental Health Awareness Month. Proceeds benefit the Elly CARES Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on community support and awareness. Organizers will collect donations and run a drive for non perishable food, paper products, cleaning supplies, and personal hygiene items for a local food bank and free pantry.
Amenities listed for participants include a USATF certified course, post race water and refreshments, fruit and healthy snacks, an award ceremony, raffle drawings, and pre and post race chair massage provided by a local spa. Bib pickup is scheduled in advance at a local Tap Room on May 28. Participants may request a personalized bib and order posted memorial or honor signs for display on the course; customization deadlines are provided in registration details.
Awards include cash and gift card prizes for top overall finishers and prizes for top finishers in standard age groups. Virtual participants can upload times and photos to the event results page during the allowed posting period. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
