What is the course like?

A 5k is 3.1 miles. This typically takes 20-40 minutes to run, or an hour to walk. The course is a flat out-and-back with a water stop. The race begins at the Long Branch Park parking lot and proceeds over the bridge. The course then turns right and proceeds along the lake with a turnaround at the half way point. There are restrooms at the race start and near the turnaround point. See map on the details page.

Will there be refreshments?

Yes, there will be a water stop near the halfway point. At the finish there will be water, juice, yogurt and granola bars.

Are dogs allowed at the CNY Gay 5K?

We love our four-legged, furry friends here at the Gay 5K. They are welcome on a leash. We ask that you make sure they are people and pup friendly and stay out of the way of those seriously running the race.
