3.1 Miles 5k Fun Run Kids Run

Everyone has a memory of their first merry-go-round. The music, sounds, lights, and colors are something that sticks with you for your entire life. But these amazing machines that bring so many people amusement and joy require a lot of maintenance and care so that future generations can enjoy them just as we have!

The Greater Binghamton Area is home to six carousels, earning us the title of the Carousel Capital of the World. The Carousel at CFJ Park is the largest and most ornate of them all. The CFJ Carousel 5K and Kids Fun Run is not only a celebration of this beautiful carousel but also of the community and those who keep these childhood dreams alive.

Come one, come all, and join us for this fun, festive 5K supporting the CFJ Carousel and the Johnson City Rotary Carousel Day! A portion of proceeds go directly back to the Johnson City Rotary to support their efforts in keeping our Johnson City beautiful.

    Who We Are: Healthy Kids Running Series is a five (5) week running program in the spring and fall for kids Pre-K through 8th grade. Each HKRS Series takes place once a week and offers age-appropriate running events including the 50 & 75 yard dashes, the 1/4 mile, the 1/2 mile and the 1 mile run. Kids will earn points for each race they complete based on their finish.

    Pricing: The registration fee covers the entire five (5) weeks of the Series which includes race bibs for each week, a runner shirt, a finisher medal and any sponsor giveaways. Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable. Online Early Bird registration increases three weeks prior to the first race event.

    Challenger: This Series offers a Challenger Division which is an adaptive 75 yard race for children with disabilities and/or special needs. This allows for parents, siblings, and friends to be on the course with runners to provide support as well as bringing their own supportive devices such as crutches, braces, wheelchairs, etc. to be used by runners.

    Single Day Racing: Single day race registration opens one hour prior to the start of each race. The registration fee covers one single race to be run on the day of registration. ALL single day registrations should be completed onsite at the race location. Single day racers will have the option to upgrade to the full series (see tab on the left side of the page for instructions). There is a strict no-refund and no-transfer policy.

    On Saturday, April 18th, Omega Phi Alpha is hosting our third annual 5K event (O-5-K) on and around the BU brain to raise money and support for Mental Health and Suicide Awareness. O-5-K will start at the front of University Union at 11 AM. This year's theme is "Love Grows Where OPhiA Goes!” This theme represents individuals and our never-ending growth as people, especially in areas of mental health. Wear anything floral themed or brightly colored for the beginning of Spring! The first three male and female runners will receive a prize! Free water and snacks will be provided to all participants.

    As Binghamton students, we have learned firsthand how mental health can impact not just individuals but the campus as a whole. Our goal is to raise money for an organization that will benefit Binghamton and surrounding areas directly within the mental health realm: the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier. All proceeds from donations, registration, and sponsorships will be directed toward the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier.

    The Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier (MHAST) is a nonprofit organization based in New York State, USA. It serves the Southern Tier region, which includes counties such as Broome, Tioga, Chenango, and Delaware. MHAST is dedicated to promoting mental wellness and providing support, education, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by mental illness.

    MHAST offers various programs and services aimed at raising awareness about mental health issues, reducing stigma, and helping individuals access resources for treatment and support. These programs may include support groups, educational workshops, crisis intervention services, suicide prevention initiatives, and community outreach activities.

    For more information about this wonderful organization:

    In the event that it rains on April 18th, O5K will be rescheduled to April 25th at 11AM instead.

    The Greater Binghamton Bridge Run is the largest premier running event in the Greater Binghamton area which includes a USATF certified half marathon and 5k races. The scenic, mostly flat course, crosses over four bridges (Clinton, Court, Tompkins & Washington) and under one (Memorial) where you will have beautiful views of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers. It also weaves through Binghamton's Downtown, West and Southsides. With only 100 feet of elevation gain, you don’t want to miss this IN-PERSON, half marathon & 5K running race this spring in Upstate New York.
