Looking for a goal race in September for the entire family? Look no further than the classic Ithaca 5&10, which has been run for nearly 50 years on the flat streets of downtown Ithaca. The 2024 race will be on Sunday, September 8. The course will take you on a loop tour of the cute Fall Creek neighborhood, offer a peek at Ithaca Falls, and finish on a paved trail around the Ithaca High School and Boynton Middle School grounds. The 5K race goes around the loop once while the 10K race continues on for a second loop.
There will be FLRC awards in several age groups for 5K and 10K runners and all finishers will receive a coupon for a free ice cream cone! Purity Ice Cream will be onsite scooping their delicious treats. This family-friendly event includes a free 1-mile Fun Run for kids. The 10K has also been chosen as the RRCA New York State Championship Race.
This race is successfully held due to the volunteer time by community members like you, and we could use your help! If you aren’t running, consider signing up today. Positions range from course marshals to water stops and helping at the finish line.
Navy blue cotton Ithaca 5&10 long-sleeved shirts are available during registration for $15 each.
