Summer has officially started and I plan to race often:
- 7-04 – Firecracker 4
- 7-5 – Indian Ladder Farms Hard Cider 5k
- 7-12 – Silks & Satins 5k
- 7-27 – Keep MOO’ving 5K
- 8-10 – Run for the Roses 5k
- 8-17 – Ellen’s Run
- 8-30 – Run 4 the River Half Marathon –
- 9-06 – Malta 5k –
- 9-13 – Squirrel Stampede 10k* (on GI)
Here are my 5 favorites:
1. Firecracker 4
A popular and spirited4 miler (even with the hill during the last mile)
great town support
2. Silks & Satins 5k
A flat 5k (with lots of twists and turns) that marks the beginning of the track season in Saratoga.
3. Ellen’s Run
A new race (for me) in the Hamptons that supports breast cancer research.
4. Run 4 the River Half Marathon
A good way to get back into distance running with these point-to-point 13.1 miles
good food & drink options after
5. Squirrel Stampede 10k
Also a new race (for me) on Governor’s Island (with cooler temps that the last one I ran, hopefully)
same course, I think?
Happy Running! What are your racing plans for this summer? Do you have a favorite race? Please share.

My First 5K and More... 
You always have such interesting races, Darlene! Looks like a nice build up to the half-marathon, too.
How long is the “Ellen’s Run”?

Ah, nice!
Not quite recovered yet… I don’t have any important races on my plan for the second half for 2025, so it’s a nice break!
But I’ll still be doing some race – copying that from you, ha!

Sounds like you have a fun summer planned! I have nothing on the schedule, other than a vague desire to do speed work. If I can make that happen, I’ll look for a race in the fall. The only race I know I want to do is in March, which is ridiculously far away.
