Sinai, NY Join us as we come together in memory of our daughter, Charlie, and all of the babies who are loved and missed every single day. This walk is a chance for loss families, friends, and our community to gather, remember, say their names, and help carry their stories forward. Although Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month officially begins in October, we're gathering a few days early to kick off a month of remembrance, awareness, and love. Why Heritage Park? This year, we're excited to bring Charlie's Walk to Heritage Park! Our new location offers a stroller-friendly walking path and access to bathrooms, making the morning more comfortable and accessible for families. Who Should Attend? This is a family-friendly event, and everyone is welcome. Bring your children, family, friends, and anyone who would like to walk alongside our loss community. This is not a timed or competitive race—just a morning spent together remembering some very loved babies. Supporting Our Community Proceeds from this year's walk will be donated to Sweet Grace Ministries, an organization very close to our hearts that provides support and resources to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. SAY THEIR NAME. REMEMBER THEM ALWAYS. TELL THEIR STORY.

MightyMan Montauk

Montauk

Athletes enjoy this course for its beauty and small-town atmosphere. Montauk is a quaint fishing and surfing town on the easternmost tip of Long Island. The town is known for its natural beauty and sports enthusiastic visitors.  Montauk is one of the birthplaces of triathlon. The sport is growing and athletes want to challenge themselves with longer events. There are few metro area triathlons of this distance. In addition to providing a venue for the athletes, this event will showcase Montauk at a time when the weather is still nice but the summer crowds are not as heavy. This is a great family weekend to spend on the east end with the Olympic and Sprint triathlons both taking place on Sunday.

His sister Casey passed away July, 2016 at the age of 24. MPS and related diseases are genetic disorders that affect major organs in the body, including the respiratory system, heart, bones, and nervous system. Affecting mostly children, it is caused by the body's inability to produce certain enzymes. There are hundreds of children around the country waiting for a treatment and eventually a cure for these rare, progressive, and deadly diseases. The National MPS Society's mission is to provide support for individuals and their families affected by MPS or ML. Our goals are to increase public and professional awareness and to support research. The Society's ultimate goal is to find a cure for MPS disorders.

The idea for The Witching Hours was born on the Long Island trails, during shared miles and endless conversations among three friends. We lost one of those friends this year, and we are committed to honoring her by carrying forward the same spirit that inspired the race from the beginning. For us, that means creating a welcoming, safe, and supportive space for trail runners of all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether you’re chasing a new distance PR, trying your first trail event, or simply looking for a day in the woods with good people and good food, you’ll have a place at The Witching Hours. The race takes place on the trails of Manorville Hills, part of the Paumanok Path and one of Long Island’s most distinctive and expansive trail systems. With 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hour options, The Witching Hours invites runners and hikers to move at their own pace along a 5K loop featuring pine-lined woods, soft, needle-covered paths, and rolling hills. The course is runnable and beginner-friendly, while approximately 270 feet of elevation gain per loop provides enough of a challenge to keep experienced trail runners engaged. What to expect:     •    A 5k loop with ~270 ft gain, winding through pines and rolling hills     •    1 well-stocked aid station with lots of tasty treats at start/finish of loop     •    Post-race meal     •    Come-as-you-are community vibes - walkers, newbies, and experienced runners are all welcome     •    Choice of shirt size and finisher medals guaranteed for everyone who signs up by 9/26.

SRC Presents: A Backyard Ultra

Hauppauge·4.16 Mile

2026 Date - December 12th Long Island has a rich and deep running culture. There are multiple events every weekend to choose from. However, runners that enjoy longer race distances or trail events have only a few options to choose from over the course of the entire year. This event will provide an opportunity for those that enjoy ultra or trail running to participate in a unique event. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, who help maintain the trails on Long Island. A backyard ultra is not a race to see who is the fastest but see who can endure the longest. Participants will run 4.167 miles every hour on the hour, but will be required to drop out if they cannot complete the distance in that time period.  The final competitor to be able to complete a full loop will be declared the winner.  Bib Pick Up Bib numbers will be assigned at check in. You can pick up your bib early from Smithtown Running Company: Thursday, December 10th - 11 am - 7 pm Friday, December 11th - 11 am - 5 pm Race morning you can pick up your bib starting at 6:30 am from the start/finish line area. There will be no on-site sign ups on the morning of 12/12 at Blydenburgh County Park. You can only pick up your bibs, if you haven't already done so. Refunds and Deferments There are no refunds for this event. We suggest you purchase event insurance during the registration process if you think an issue may arise. You will be allowed to defer your spot 1 year if you are unable to attend. You will receive non-complimentary guaranteed entry for the next year.
