Running Races in New York

Join Search for Change, Run 4 Recovery, Drug Crisis in our Backyard and The Alliance for Safe Kids (ASK) for the 12th Annual Run for Recovery 5K Run/Walk. Participating in our Run for Recovery 5K run/walk is a powerful way to raise awareness and celebrate recovery from substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Each step symbolizes hope and resilience, honoring those who have overcome challenges. The event unites individuals, breaks stigma, and empowers others to seek help.  Crossing the finish line gives a feeling of accomplishment, knowing you have made a difference.  Recovery is possible, and together, we can inspire change. Participants are also encouraged to create a personal fundraiser and start a team to help expand the impact of this event. Fundraising is a meaningful way to honor a loved one, celebrate recovery, support prevention efforts, or advocate for mental health awareness. Teams can bring together family members, friends, coworkers, schools, organizations, or recovery communities to walk or run together in support of hope and healing. Every dollar raised helps support vital programs, education, prevention, and recovery resources in our community. We are excited to once again offer our on-site Save A Life Wellness Fair, providing attendees with access to crucial resources and information. Our virtual tool is also available to connect the public to essential resources year-round.

For times and drop-offs, hit the EVENT INFO button.    Before you call or email us-click the EVENT INFO button at the top of the page (hell, you can tap the two words the are highlighted right there =).  That should answer all pertinent questions you may have.  If it doesn't then you are probably the only person with that question and should ask yourself, "is it that important?"  If you still feel the urge to ask the question, then hit the "Questions?" button below and ask away.  If it's a question answered on the EVENT INFO page, we will mock you incessantly.  If it's not on there, then you may be immortalized on that page as an addendum.   A full refund, minus the processing fee, is available up to Saturday, September 19th at 11:59 PM. One minute later, at 12:00 AM on Sunday, September 20th and unfortunately there are no refunds available.  Go to the Refund Policy at the top of the page to start the process.

The Leatherman's Loop is put on by Leatherman's Loop Races.  Other races to check out: FALL Run the Farm (Oct 25, 2026) • Raven Rocks Run (Nov 8, 2026) • SPRING Run the Farm (May 23, 2027) • Fire Tower Trail Half Marathon & 10k (June 6, 2027) The Leatherman's Loop is a 10k trail race held in the spring (April 25, 2027). Start time is 9am. (ARRIVE at the park BY 8AM if you are registered to run!) If you have questions about the race, visit the Loop website or specifically the Loop FAQ page at the website. You can follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/leathermansloop and Facebook: https://facebook.com/leathermansloop Due to the popularity of the event, Loop entry is via Lottery. For more information, visit our Loop Lottery FAQ page here. We are always grateful to our race volunteers! If you'd like to sign up to volunteer, visit this page: https://leathermansloop.org/volunteer Please put leathermansloop@gmail.com and info@runsignup.com in your address book so our emails to you and the confirmation emails from RunSignUp.com do not get tagged as spam.  Thanks! -Rob, Ciorsdan, and the Leatherman Harriers volunteers PS: two additional notes: 1.) The registration cost of the Leatherman's Loop incorporates the park's entry fee into the registration cost -- so the park does not have to collect the parking fee separately from each entrant on race morning. Long ago we figured out it was more efficient for us to pay the park that fee directly rather than have hundreds of cars line up at the entrance fumbling for cash at the entrance gate to the Rez on race morning.  2.) Dogs are not permitted to run in the Loop. In 2020 the USATF began a new policy prohibiting dogs from running in races they sanction and insure. The Loop is a USATF sanctioned and insured race. Leashed dogs are welcome at the park anytime.

Registration will be open from Monday March 16,  8:00am through Sunday March 22. Mandatory race packet pickup outside the Fox Lane Middle School from 8:00 - 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 16.

The Second Annual Fire Tower Trail Half Marathon and 10k Race are set for Sunday June 6, 2027 at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, NY.

The fundraising will be used for projects enhancing the accessibility of the tower to the public as well as education about the park and the historic land that it sits on. There will be opportunities for larger donations to support educational signage, canopy viewscape mapping signage, and benches at the base among other things.
