Lace up your sneakers for the Finger Lakes Fit 5K, a vibrant community event set to unfold on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in picturesque Penn Yan, NY. This 5K Run/Walk kicks off from Finger Lakes Fit at 143 Seneca Street and guides participants along the scenic Outlet Trail. The course, an old rail trail, promises a well-maintained and generally flat terrain, offering a pleasant experience for all fitness levels. Typical race day conditions in early June boast comfortable highs around 75°F and lows near 55°F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal setting for a morning run or walk.

Beyond the beautiful scenery, the Finger Lakes Fit 5K distinguishes itself as a dedicated community fundraiser. Launched as its first annual event in 2025, it quickly established a reputation for fun and philanthropy, with 50% of all proceeds directly benefiting the Dundee and Penn Yan Sports Booster Clubs. Runners can look forward to a festive atmosphere complete with music and post-race celebrations, including vendors, local businesses, a 50/50 raffle, and exciting prizes. All participants receive a commemorative T-shirt and are entered for door prizes, with an on-site food truck available for refueling after crossing the finish line. This event offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the Finger Lakes region while supporting local athletes.
