Connor's Way Scenic Memorial 5-Mile Run/Walk

Lace up your running shoes for the Connor's Way Scenic Memorial 5-Mile Run/Walk, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Adirondack foothills in Remsen, NY, on Sunday, September 20, 2026. This inspiring event offers a unique 5-mile journey along a picturesque wooded trail and seasonal roads, mirroring the very paths Connor Arthur Lynskey loved to run. Runners will find a challenging yet rewarding course, while walkers can enjoy the stunning natural beauty. For the younger enthusiasts, an untimed Kids Fun Run is also available.

More than just a race, Connor's Way is a vibrant celebration of life and community, honoring Connor's legacy and his dream of becoming a physician dedicated to underserved areas. All proceeds directly benefit the Connor Arthur Lynskey Scholarship Fund, providing vital support to high school and medical students aspiring to make a difference in healthcare. The race day atmosphere is elevated with an uplifting opening ceremony featuring a presentation of colors, the national anthem, and a procession led by an Irish bagpiper and Color Guard.

Join hundreds of fellow participants for a memorable experience that includes live music from the Crazy Fools band and local food trucks after you cross the finish line. Medals are awarded to top overall male and female finishers, as well as age group winners. With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 67°F and lows around 47°F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation, it promises to be a comfortable and enjoyable early autumn day to run or walk for a cause.
