Lace up your running shoes and get ready for a scenic dash at the Stache Dash 5K, returning to Canandaigua, NY, on Saturday, June 20, 2026. This popular 5K race, held annually on Father's Day Weekend, offers a "flat & fast" course that winds along the beautiful Canandaigua Lake, providing runners with picturesque views throughout. The route is inclusive and accessible to all athletes, incorporating a combination of sidewalk, gravel path, and limited road sections, with volunteers stationed at road crossings for safety. Two aid stations will be available along the course to keep you hydrated and energized.

Beyond the stunning scenery, the Stache Dash is renowned for its fun, "chill vibe" and community spirit, all while supporting the Blue Foundation, a local charity dedicated to assisting men and their families in the Finger Lakes region facing health challenges. This year, the event is also partnering with Rochester Accessible Adventures to include an inclusive wheeled division. The race kicks off at 6:00 PM, with the start and finish lines located on the path near Twisted Rail Brewing Co and Hotel Canandaigua. Typical race day conditions in June see comfortable highs around 78F and lows around 58F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.

Participants can look forward to a fantastic post-race experience, complete with delicious food and live music, creating a celebratory atmosphere. You'll also receive a commemorative tri-blend race shirt. As a highlight, the Stache Dash encourages participants to embrace the theme, with a chance to win prizes for growing the ultimate mustache. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a beautiful evening run for a great cause, the Stache Dash 5K promises an unforgettable experience.
