Join the annual Cayuga Heights Elementary School (CHES) 5K and Fun Run on Sunday, May 5, 2024. This fun community event is open to everyone who would like to race through the beautiful streets of Cayuga Heights on a spring day. Funds raised will support the CHES PTA and the many PTA sponsored programs, activities, and events.

Race Details

Race Day: Sunday, May 5, 2024
Location: Cayuga Heights Elementary School (110 E. Upland Rd., Ithaca, NY)
There are two courses. Both are open to all:

Fun Run @ 9:00 a.m. - A one-mile, non-timed run specially designed for children in grades K through 3 remains entirely on school grounds.
5K @ 9:30 a.m. - See the race course here. This is a USA Track and Field (USATF) sanctioned event. We’d like to thank Finger Lakes Runners Club for sharing their expertise and equipment for race timing and registration.

Registration

Online registration is now open! Paper registration forms will also be sent home in students’ backpacks by early April. CHES PTA is committed to making this event accessible to all participants, and full scholarships are available once again this year (info below).

RegistER

Registration fees:

Pre-registration (through May 4): $15 per participant; $30 per family (2 or more participants). The price will be adjusted to reflect the family registration price when a third runner is added.

- Note that race day registration opens at 8 a.m. and ends at 8:30 a.m.
