Staten Island Firecracker 3 Mile Run & 1 Mile Walk

Lace up your running shoes or gather your walking companions for the 4th Annual Staten Island Firecracker 3 Mile Run & 1 Mile Walk, set to ignite your summer on Sunday, June 28, 2026, in New York, NY. This popular event, a proud supporter of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, welcomes participants of all ages and abilities to Conference House Park, Staten Island, for a day of fitness and community spirit. Over its first three years, the race has already raised nearly $9,000 to support the Foundation's vital programs for catastrophically injured veterans and fallen first responders.

The scenic setting of Conference House Park serves as both the start and finish line, offering a picturesque backdrop for your 3-mile run or 1-mile walk. This event also holds special significance as the second leg of the Staten Island Triple Crown, challenging runners to complete a series of local races. Families are encouraged to join, with a special 50-yard dash for kids aged 6 and under, where every young finisher receives a medal. Plus, for those joining the 1-mile walk, furry friends are welcome to stride alongside you. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 86°F and lows around 68°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, making for a warm yet potentially pleasant morning race.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the 3-mile run or enjoying a leisurely 1-mile walk with family and canine companions, the Staten Island Firecracker promises an engaging experience. Join fellow runners and walkers in supporting a meaningful cause while enjoying a vibrant community event in historic Conference House Park.
