Beacon of Hope 5k

Lace up for an inspiring journey at the Beacon of Hope 5k, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Montauk, NY, on June 20, 2026. This impactful event offers both a 3.1M run and a 5K walk through the picturesque expanse of Camp Hero, culminating in a memorable finish at the historic Montauk Lighthouse. Runners will begin their scenic route on Montauk Highway, right in front of the lighthouse entrance, experiencing the unique coastal beauty that makes Montauk so special. Typical race day conditions in late June offer pleasant highs around 75°F and lows around 60°F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal atmosphere for a refreshing race.

More than just a race, the Beacon of Hope 5k is a powerful community initiative, directly benefiting Lucia's Angels and the Coalition for Women's Cancers, two vital local women's cancer organizations on Long Island's East End. Participants are invited to join this annual tradition, fostering awareness, raising crucial funds, and extending hope to community members. Beyond the stunning course, runners can enjoy complimentary photos from Endurance Sports Photography and even partake in pre-race stretching led by NY Pilates Founder Heather Anderson. This event offers a unique blend of athletic challenge and heartfelt purpose, making it an amazing race experience for all.
