Kiwanis Club of Newburgh Scholarship Run

Lace up for a cause at the Kiwanis Club of Newburgh Scholarship Run, a scenic 4-mile event taking place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, in beautiful Newburgh, NY. This inspiring race is held at Chadwick Lake Park, where runners and walkers will complete a picturesque loop around Chadwick Lake. The course features a wide gravel trail that is largely flat and easy, with just a few small hills to add a gentle challenge, making it accessible for all levels. Runners will enjoy the vibrant fall foliage that typically graces the park during this time of year. Typical race day conditions in late October offer comfortable highs around 60F and lows near 39F, with a low chance of precipitation.

Beyond the beautiful scenery, what truly makes this event special is its mission. Organized by the Kiwanis Club of Newburgh, all proceeds from the race directly fund academic and vocational scholarships for children in the local community. Participants can look forward to a rewarding experience, complete with food and refreshments after the race, and the first 100 registrants will receive t-shirts and swag bags. Awards will be presented to the top male and female runners overall, as well as within various age categories.

Join fellow community members at Chadwick Lake Park (1702 NY-300) where registration kicks off at 8:00 AM, followed by the race start at 9:00 AM. This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a refreshing fall run, contribute to a meaningful cause, and help empower young minds in the Newburgh area.
