Ruthie Dino-Marshall 5K

Get ready to lace up for the 29th Annual Ruthie Dino-Marshall 5K, a cherished community event taking place on Sunday, June 7, 2026, in scenic Middletown, NY. This inspiring race honors the memory of Ruthie Dino-Marshall, an avid runner and dedicated community member, with proceeds benefiting the Middletown School District Ruthie Dino-Marshall Memorial Fund and the YMCA of Middletown's summer camp scholarship fund. More than just a 5K, the event also features a delightful Walk and a Kid's Dash, fostering a vibrant atmosphere perfect for participants of all ages and fitness levels.

Runners should prepare for a challenging yet rewarding experience on this USATF-certified 5K course. While offering a chance to engage with the Middletown community, the route is known for being "VERY hilly at points," requiring some determination to conquer the inclines. The course navigates through local streets, starting on Cantrell Ave next to the YMCA and concluding near the end of Wallkill Ave. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 76°F and lows around 54°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation.

The Ruthie Dino-Marshall 5K is more than a race; it's a celebration of fitness, family, and community spirit. Participants can expect post-race refreshments to refuel after their effort. Join fellow runners and walkers at the YMCA of Middletown, located at 81 Highland Avenue, for an unforgettable event that supports a wonderful cause and celebrates a beloved local figure.
