Lace up for Colie's Run, an inviting 5K race taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in the scenic community of Richfield Springs, NY. Starting and finishing at the Richfield Springs Fire Department, this event is renowned for its remarkably flat out-and-back course, boasting only 82 feet of total elevation, making it ideal for runners and walkers of all skill levels seeking a fast time or a comfortable stroll. Typical race day conditions in early May feature pleasant highs around 57°F and lows around 42°F, with a modest 20% chance of precipitation, setting the stage for an enjoyable spring run.
The route guides participants through the charming streets of Richfield Springs, venturing west on Canadarago Street before a brief stretch on Lake Street, then continuing onto Bronner and Elm Street Extension. A highlight of the course is the turnaround point at a small bridge, offering picturesque views of Canadarago Lake, where a convenient water station will be available to keep you hydrated. Beyond the beautiful scenery and accommodating terrain, Colie's Run stands out for its heartwarming mission, with all proceeds directly benefiting the Richfield Springs Fire Department, allowing participants to support local heroes with every stride.
