On September 26, 2026, SUNY Old Westbury hosts the annual 5K Run/Walk and Dash on its scenic campus. The race begins at 8:30 AM with participants gathering near the Campus Center traffic circle for a morning start that promises to energize runners of all levels. The event features two distinct activities: a competitive 5K run/walk, which offers an opportunity for both seasoned athletes and casual joggers to explore the campus's lush green spaces. The terrain is relatively flat but includes some rolling hills, providing participants with a mix of challenges that highlight the beauty of SUNY Old Westbury’s grounds. For those looking for a shorter yet intense experience, there's also a dash event starting at 9:45 AM from the Campus Center traffic circle. This fast-paced race adds an extra layer of excitement to the morning festivities. Participants can park in the designated lot near the main entrance off Route 106-107, ensuring easy access to both events. All runners and walkers will receive commemorative t-shirts upon registration, celebrating their participation in this community-focused event that supports local nonprofit organizations through its proceeds. The race day atmosphere is lively with a strong sense of camaraderie among participants as they enjoy the scenic backdrop of SUNY Old Westbury’s sprawling campus. Whether you're there to challenge your personal best or simply to join in the fun, this event offers an engaging morning filled with running and community spirit. Join us at SUNY Old Westbury for a day that combines fitness, camaraderie, and support for local causes.
