The annual Shelter Island 5k Run/Walk in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month will take place Saturday, October 18, at 11 AM. The USATF Certified 5k Course will begin at Crescent Beach, rain or shine, and all proceeds benefit women on the East End fighting breast and gynecological cancer through East End organizations The North Fork Breast Health Coalition, The Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital, and Lucia’s Angels.
Pre-registration will be $45 for both walkers and runners. Children 12 and under are $25. Day-of registration will cost $50 for both walkers and runners, and $30 for children 12 and under. The first 400 participants will receive T-shirts, and all participants will receive bibs, post-race refreshments, awards, and a complimentary BBQ (while supplies last). Runners may register online at events.elitefeats.com/25shelterfall.
Tickets will also be available for a 50/50 raffle and gift card raffle with prizes to East End restaurants and shops, including a lunch for four at the American Hotel, a round of golf for four at Gardiner’s Bay Country Club, Pilates classes, and more. All proceeds raised from the raffle will benefit Lucia’s Angels.
