Lace up your shoes for the scenic Tap Root Fields Strawberry Walk/Run 5K on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the picturesque setting of Skaneateles, NY. This family-friendly 3.1-mile event invites participants of all ages and abilities to enjoy a day outdoors at a truly unique community gem. Typical race day conditions in late June bring pleasant highs around 78°F and lows around 56°F, with only an 18% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for a refreshing walk or run.
The self-timed 5K course winds through the beautiful natural landscape of Taproot Fields, offering a captivating journey across a mix of grass and groomed trails. While generally flat and manageable for all fitness levels, participants should anticipate unpaved terrain and potentially some varied sections, making it a true outdoor adventure rather than a road race. Strollers are welcome on much of the route, though be prepared for occasional soft spots depending on conditions. This is your invitation to explore what many consider one of the area's best-kept secrets, showcasing stunning trails and wide-open spaces.
Beyond the finish line, the Tap Root Fields Strawberry Walk/Run 5K offers a truly distinctive experience: a post-race Farm Experience. Stick around to enjoy local vendors, engaging farm tours, and a taste of the diverse offerings at Taproot Fields, from educational classes to future programming. This event is designed for families to bond, overcome a challenge together, and create lasting memories in a beautiful outdoor setting.
