From the Organizer
The LaChute Road Runners Club welcomes you to experience a scenic 5K cross-country course through trails, roads, and fields, guided by the powerful symbolism of the lighthouse as a beacon of HOPE and the bridge as a connection to education and support. This event raises awareness about online safety with the Prevention Team/Safe Harbour NY Essex County while encouraging personal connection and well-being through the NYS Parks Wellness Challenge: “Get Offline, Get Outside”.
There is a 2 Mile Fun Run/Walk option along the scenic 5K cross-country course to encourage family participation.
Run/Walk Together, Making Memories One Mile at a Time
For the safety and enjoyment of all, youth participants age 15 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver (parent, guardian, or responsible adult) throughout the entire event.
