Lace up for the exhilarating Massapequa Mile on October 4, 2026, in scenic Massapequa Park, NY. This single-mile dash offers a vibrant community atmosphere for runners of all ages and abilities. Typical race day conditions in early October offer ideal running weather, with highs around 70°F and lows near 54°F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation.

The Massapequa Mile boasts the distinction of being the oldest active one-mile running course on Long Island, renowned for its fast and flat terrain, perfect for setting a new personal best. The race kicks off on Lakeshore Drive, just north of Cypress Street, guiding participants through the charming streets of Massapequa Park before a spirited finish on Park Boulevard, north of McKinley Street. Beyond the race itself, the event features a free Kids Fun Run, making it a fantastic day out for the entire family.

More than just a race, the Massapequa Mile is a cornerstone event organized by the Massapequa Running Club, dedicated to giving back to the community. Proceeds from the race support local charities, including scholarships for deserving Massapequa High School Track & Field team seniors and contributions to Girls on the Run. As a USATF-Long Island sanctioned event and a scoring race in the USATF-LI Grand Prix, it attracts a diverse field, from competitive athletes striving for a course record to recreational runners and even participants spanning from 6 to 96 years old. Join this well-loved tradition for a memorable race experience that celebrates running and community spirit.
