RSCC Sundae Run/Walk

Lace up your running shoes for the delightful RSCC Sundae Run/Walk, set for Sunday, July 19, 2026, in the picturesque town of Richfield Springs, NY. This beloved annual event offers a distance for every participant, whether you choose the challenging 10K, the scenic 5K, or the enjoyable 2-mile walk. Typical race day conditions in mid-July feature pleasant highs around 74°F and lows around 60°F, with a slight 20% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a summer race.

The courses cater to various preferences. The 10K presents a very hilly and challenging route, rewarding runners with breathtaking views of Canadarago Lake as it climbs from Lake Street. For those seeking a gentler experience, the 5K offers a relatively flatter course with rolling hills, an out-and-back journey along Lake Street that also provides scenic glimpses of Canadarago Lake. All events kick off at 8:30 AM EDT, with registration and awards hosted at the Richfield Springs Vet's Club, conveniently located just a short distance off Main Street.

What truly sets the RSCC Sundae Run/Walk apart is its unique, sweet reward: all runners and walkers are treated to free ice cream with all the fixings post-race, making it a truly unforgettable experience. This community-focused event also proudly supports the Richfield Springs Community Center, with 100% of the proceeds going towards its daily operations and programs. The 5K and 10K races are also recognized as part of the Route 20 Road Challenge, the Roman Runners' Grand Prix, and the CNY Cup Challenge, adding an extra layer of competitive spirit. Come for the run, stay for the sundae, and support a great cause!
