Lace up your sneakers for the Greene Labor Day 5k, a beloved annual tradition set to take place on Monday, September 7, 2026, in the charming town of Greene, NY. This chip-timed, USATF-certified 3.1-mile road race welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, promising a swift course with a recently eliminated final hill for a faster finish. Starting and finishing at the Greene Lions Club Park on Lions Park Lane, participants will find ample parking and convenient restroom facilities, with post-race refreshments and awards presented at the pavilion.

The Greene Labor Day 5k is more than just a race; it's a vibrant centerpiece of Greene's end-of-summer family-oriented field day, held at the lively Greene Ball Flats. Expect a festive atmosphere complete with amusement rides, games, fireworks, and concessions, making it a perfect outing for the whole family. As "The Southern Tier's premier 5k on Labor Day," the event offers a chance to win custom Greene Labor Day 5K Mosaic Sneakers for overall male and female winners, along with age group awards, door prizes, and even a raffle for a Lake Placid getaway. Typical race day conditions in early September offer pleasant weather, with highs around 72°F and lows around 54°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the competition and festivities, the Greene Labor Day 5k holds a strong community spirit. Organized by the non-profit Greene Community Labor Day Picnic Association, Inc., all proceeds directly benefit local community enrichment programs. Additionally, this race is a proud part of the Run Chenango race series, offering participants the opportunity to earn a special "Run Chenango" shirt by completing five races in the series. Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate fitness, community, and the unofficial end of summer!
