Summer Solstice 5K

The Summer Solstice 5K is a running event held in Sackets Harbor, New York. Scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026, the event celebrates the official start of the summer season. Participants can choose between two primary options:

  • Solstice 5K
  • Solstice 5K (Virtual)

The 5K course is a 3.1 mile trek that is characteristically flat. It provides participants with views of Lake Ontario as they follow the route. Packet pickup is available on the morning of the race at the start location on W Main St.

The event is organized by Willow Running USA in collaboration with the Garrett W. Loomis Foundation. This partnership supports a 501c-3 non-profit organization focused on regional fire safety. Local community involvement includes support from establishments such as 1812 Brewing Co., the Whiskey Coop, and The Boathouse. Registration is open to the public, and a virtual participation option is available for those unable to attend the in-person race in Sackets Harbor.
