Fillmore 5K

Get ready to experience the charm of a true small-town race at the Fillmore 5K, set for Saturday, July 11, 2026, in picturesque Moravia, NY. This popular 3.1-mile event, organized by the Finger Lakes Runners Club, is celebrated for its fast and flat course, making it ideal for runners aiming for a personal best or those simply looking to enjoy a scenic run through the village and surrounding rural areas. The single-loop course is meticulously marked and well-staffed, featuring one water stop conveniently located midway to keep you hydrated.

Bib pickup and ample free parking are available at the Moravia Central School District track, located at 68 S Main Street, with the 5K race commencing at 9:00 AM. Typical race day conditions in July offer pleasant weather, with highs around 80°F and lows near 62°F, and only a 17% chance of precipitation. Post-race, runners can enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks, along with access to restrooms and changing facilities.

Beyond the personal achievement, participating in the Fillmore 5K contributes to a worthy cause, as all profits benefit the Four Town First Aid Squad, Inc.. This event is a fantastic opportunity to experience the local community spirit while tackling a rewarding course. Remember to leave your furry friends, headphones, and jogging strollers at home, as they are not permitted on the course for the safety of all participants.
