The approach of the summer solstice brings us long evening light on the shores of Cayuga Lake, and this year’s Twilight 5K race takes you along plenty of shoreline at Cass Park and Treman Marina, where we’ll be racing on smooth trails. Whether you run or walk, you’ll enjoy a flat, fast course, chip timing, and lots of cheering—it’s a perfect 5K for new and experienced runners alike. Everyone is welcome! The race will include participants in the national Girls on the Run empowerment program and counts as a timed 5K for the ongoing FLRC Challenge.
Race start time is 7 PM, and we hope you’ll stick around after you finish for the pizza party.
Through May 31, you can register for only $25; the price rises on June 1 and again on June 8, so register early to save! To save even more, join the club—FLRC members get discounts on all our races.
Supporting Danish Hussain Yar and Free to Run
This year, we’re excited to support Cornell sophomore Danish Hussain Yar’s fundraising efforts for Free to Run, which empowers girls and young women in conflict-affected regions through running. Growing up in Afghanistan, she saw firsthand how war, gender apartheid, and systemic barriers make it nearly impossible for women to run freely. If she reaches her goal, she’ll run the 2026 New York City Marathon as just the seventh Afghan woman ever.
Learn more about Danish’s story and support her fundraising efforts.
We need volunteers!
If you’re not running, would you like to help out? We’ll be welcoming 400+ runners, and we need your help to make it a successful night for all! Volunteering is a great way to meet people, give back to the running community, and stay in touch with the club.
