Ithaca Twilight 5K
About this race
The Ithaca Twilight 5K is a fun, family-friendly event on an early-summer evening. Whether you run or walk, you’ll finish in daylight because it’s held on one of the longest days of the year. With a flat course and relatively few road crossings, it’s a perfect first 5K for all ages.
We start/finish at Cass Park. The race is chip-timed by Leone Timing.
Race day packet pickup is from 5:30–6:45 PM. The race starts promptly at 7 PM.
Online registration only.
