Lace up for the Lima Bean 5K on Saturday, August 1, 2026, a charming 3.1-mile race that kicks off the lively Lima Crossroads Festival in Lima, NY. This USATF-certified course begins and ends at the Lima Crossroads Church, guiding runners through the picturesque outskirts of Lima before returning to the village. The route is mostly flat, offering a swift journey until you encounter some engaging hills on College Street, providing a fun challenge before your final sprint to the digital display clock finish line.

The Lima Bean 5K is more than just a race; it's a celebration of community spirit. As part of the multi-day Lima Crossroads Festival, runners and spectators can enjoy four days of live music, a parade, and family activities, including a unique bed race. A single water station is available at the halfway mark to keep you hydrated, and chip timing by HourGlass Works ensures accurate results. Overall and age group awards recognize top finishers, and participants are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for the Lima Food Pantry, contributing to a worthy local cause.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 82F and lows near 61F, accompanied by a 17% chance of precipitation, making for potentially pleasant summer running. Family-friendly, with kids under 8 running for free, this event welcomes all to experience the beauty of Livingston County. With proceeds supporting local charities and the festival itself, the Lima Bean 5K offers a fantastic opportunity for a fun and impactful race experience.
