Camptown Races 10k, 5k, and Relay

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.

Work up an appetite on the race course, and then have some blueberry pancakes at our breakfast tent! We have family friendly events happening all day on the Village Green in Montrose, PA. If you're feeling extra competitive, sign up for our pie-eating contest Saturday afternoon!
