Ketcham Storm Breast Cancer Awareness Run/Walk

Ketcham Storm Breast Cancer Awareness Run/Walk takes place in Wappingers Falls, New York, on October 25, 2026. There is one format on the schedule, a 5K over 3.1 miles, starting at 10:00 a.m., and it is open to runners and walkers alike.

The mid-morning start is worth planning around: eat a light breakfast two to three hours out, arrive early enough to jog ten minutes, and add a few strides so the first half mile does not catch you cold. For a school-community race like this one, the sensible approach is to run the first mile under control and let the last thousand meters be the fast part. The distance is short enough that you can race it on a normal training week and be back to easy running within a couple of days.
