2021 STRC St. Patrick's Day 5K/10K Run & Walk 2021

Short review

Due to the current COVID pandemic, this year's race will look and feel a little different.

First, we have petitioned the town of Southport, Chemung County DPW, and the Chemung County Health Department to hold the event on Saturday, September 18, 2021 live in-person.   We are creating a live in-person option and a virtual option.  If the live event is not approved, then the whole event will be virtual.

2020 Registrants: You will be automatically transferred to the in person event with the option to go virtual.  Your shirts will be mailed or hand delivered in February.

New 2021 Registrants: Choosing the in person race day option, your shirts will be available on race day.  All virtual participants will have their shirts mailed or hand delivered after the live event.

WHEN: Saturday, September 18, 2021 at 9:00 AM.  There will be an open start line from 9:00am-11:00am.  Start times will be assigned closer to race day.  Your time will start when you cross the timing system at the start line. When you arrive at the start line, you will be socially distanced in the starting corral.  You are required to wear a mask until you start running/walking.   Once you cross the finish line, put your mask back on, grab a to-go box/bag and please exit the finish line area.  There will not be an Awards Ceremony or Prize Raffle.  Those events will be held virtually after the event.  Awards and prizes will be mailed and or hand delivered.
