Friends of Kensico Cemetery 5K Run/Walk

Friends of Kensico Cemetery 5K Run/Walk takes place at Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York, on October 25, 2026. The run and the walk both start at 9:15 a.m. over the same 5K, so you choose your category when you enter rather than picking a start time. It makes for an unusual setting for a fall road race.

With runners and walkers setting off together, the first quarter mile will be busy, so line up according to the pace you intend to hold and be patient through the opening stretch. After that it is a 5K like any other: race it hard if you have trained for it, or walk it as an easy autumn outing. Anyone chasing a time should get a full warm-up in before the shared start.
