Race day registration will be available online only, right from your phone, as we’ve moved away from paper forms.
Join us as we celebrate the 26th year of the KVIS Katonah Road Races! Participate in the Katonah 5K, the 1 Mile Kid's Fun Run, and the Kid's Dash, no fee to register for the Kid's Dash! Races start on The Village Green at Parkway and Edgemont, across from the Katonah Village Library. The 5K starts promptly at 8:00 AM, followed by the 1 Mile Kid's Fun Run at 9:00 AM and the Kid's Dash at 9:20 AM.
Michael P. Berardino was a beloved member of KVIS whose kindness, generosity, and devotion to Katonah left a lasting mark on our community. As the driving force behind the creation of the Katonah Road Races in 2001, Mike will be honored through the renaming of this event as the Michael P. Berardino K5K Memorial Road Race.
The 5K is a combination road and trail run. Please be mindful that you will encounter natural obstacles such as loose gravel, rocks and roots. Strollers and dogs are not permitted.
A free K5K t-shirt is available to the first 100 registrants. T-shirts are available for purchase on race day while supplies last.
We are collecting canned goods to donate to the Community Center of Northern Westchester. A collection box will be available for donations on the day of the race.
This event is co-sponsored by the Town of Bedford and is KVIS’s largest fundraiser, involving hundreds of people of all ages. KVIS organizes and supports many inter-generational cultural and educational events to enrich the lives of Katonah residents and visitors, including: the Katonah Halloween Parade, the National Treasure movie screening and scavenger hunt, the KVIS Wine Tasting, and the spring community-wide cleanup day. KVIS also supports beautification projects such as the pollinator garden at the Katonah station and the plantings along the train fencing. We partner with the Katonah Chamber of Commerce on various events to support Katonah merchants, including co-sponsoring Katonah for the Holidays and donation drives this past December.
