Katonah 5K

On Saturday, September 7, at 8:00 a.m., join in the celebration of the 23rd year of the KVIS Katonah Road Races! Participate in the Katonah 5K, the 1 Mile Kids Fun Run and the Kids Dash, no fee to register! Races start on The Village Green at Parkway and Edgemont, across from the Katonah Village Library. The 5K starts promptly at 8:00 AM, followed by the 1 Mile Kids Fun Run at 9:00 AM and the Kids Dash at 9:20 AM.

The 5K is a combination road and trail run. Please be mindful that you will encounter natural obstacles such as loose gravel, rocks and roots. Strollers and dogs are not permitted. A free K5K t-shirt is available to the first 100 registrants. After this quota has been reached, t-shirts are available for purchase while supplies last.

We are collecting new socks to donate to the Community Center of Northern Westchester. Please consider bringing a pair … or two! A collection box will be available for donations on the day of the race. Donate funds to support this cause.

NEW this year—purchase a Community Spirit Sign to support your runner! For $25 you will receive an 18″ x 24″ white sign to decorate as you choose. Inspire your runner to finish the race with a personalized message of love and support. Your sign will be staked on the race route the day of the race.

This event is co-sponsored by the Town of Bedford and is KVIS’s largest fundraiser, involving hundreds of people of all ages. KVIS organizes and supports many inter-generational cultural and educational events to enrich the lives of Katonah residents and visitors, including: the Katonah Halloween Parade, The Oscars Come to Katonah Film Series, and the spring community-wide cleanup day. KVIS also supports beautification projects such as the pollinator garden at the Katonah station and the plantings along the train fencing. We partner with the Katonah Chamber of Commerce on various events to support Katonah merchants, including co-sponsoring Katonah for the Holidays and donation drives this past December.
