  REGISTRATION BEGAN JANUARY 12, 2026

  The Daffodil Dash returns this spring for its

  FOURTH year!!!

  Once again, the Ithaca Garden Club and the

  Ithaca Children’s Garden are sponsoring this

  event, with help from numerous

  volunteers and donors.

  Dashers will have the opportunity to admire over 180,000 brilliant

  daffodils, a project of the Ithaca Garden Club, as they run,

  walk, or stroll along the Cayuga Inlet.

  These flowers were purchased with

  funding from donors and dash participants, and planted

  with the help of volunteers from the Ithaca Parks Department,

  the Ithaca Garden Club, and the Ithaca Beautification Brigade,

  along with Cornell University's incredible planting equipment.

  Due to donors’ generosity, EVERY DOLLAR from this event will

  transform into

  daffodil bulbs, to be planted at Stewart Park in October.

  Proceeds from the 2025 Dash were converted into 70,000 daffodil bulbs,

  planted along the entrance to Cayuga Medical Center Hospital.

  Try to swing by in April when they’ll be blooming!

  1 Mile Dash begins at 9:00

  5 K Dash begins at 9:30

  ---

  Children 12 & under receive FREE registration and may purchase a Dash

  t-shirt for $5!

  $25 registration for all others, with optional $10 Dash t-shirts available.

  1 Mile Fun Run/Walk

  Finish at Gaia, the Ithaca Children's Garden turtle, after winding through the scenic daffodil blooms planted along the course.

  5k Run/Walk

  Experience the sights and smells of 180,000 blooming daffodils while running, walking, rolling or strolling along the inlet in Cass Park.

  It's been fun to offer our returners new courses and formats which have highlighted different parts of Ithaca and its surrounding communities. And, first timers, what hopefully will be another day running one of the most beautiful and finest half marathons in the Country. 2025 will be no different. Here's what we're planning:

  We'll again start stage from Trumansburg High School, with a Start line on South St. From South St, runners will take a left onto Main St to start a weave through downtown Trumansburg's rolling before beginning to head for Ithaca. They'll pass through the upper tip of Taughannock Falls State Park before reaching the head of the Black Diamond Rail Trail. From there it'll be a steady descent along the hard packed gravel surface to arrive back in Ithaca. Once you emerge it'll be a, hopefully, fast final mile, running north along the Cayuga Lake for a finish in Cass Park.

  Note: Course configuration may change.

  2026 Course Format / Highlights:

  • 2025 (and 2026) Interactive Course Map can be viewed here

  • https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2935977?units=miles

  • Start on South St in Trumansburg, NY

  • Finish along the base of Cayuga Lake in Cass Park in Ithaca

  What you'll get:

  • Delicious post-race food in to-go format from Fittnell Farms Catering

  • Event tech-tee (only guaranteed to those registering before May 1st)

  • Event finisher's medal and bottle

  • All else that goes into the event including your help in allowing us to donate back to multiple entities each year including high school teams, parks, and fire marshals

  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.

  Trot, run, walk, roll, stroll, skip, mosey or saunter in the 2026 Peter De Mott Peace Trot!

  The Peter De Mott Peace Trot is an annual 5k and 1-mile run organized and hosted by the Ithaca Catholic Worker in honor of peace activist, runner and Ithaca community member, Peter De Mott. Peter worked tirelessly to bring about a more just and peaceful world. This event has become a fun filled, family Father’s Day event in its sixteen years. We also invite serious runners to its well known fast course to try and equal race records. The suggested registration fee is $35 and increases to $45 on race day. You can pay as much as you can afford or can donate extra to help our important peace and community work. Either way, all participants will receive one of our newly designed collectable t-shirts. You will enjoy some nutritious food after the run and age group winners receive unique, practical, artistic or quirky prizes of their own choosing. Won’t you join us?

  Registration opens at 7:30 am! The trot starts at 9:00 am! We will continue to trot in Cass Park, but this year we will be at the marina due to construction at our normal pavilion site.

  Join us for our second annual fast-paced indoor triathlon at the Y!

  This sprint-style event is great for first-timers and seasoned athletes alike. Participants will swim in our 25-yard pool, bike on a spin bike, and run on a treadmill — each for a set amount of time. Distances in each discipline will be recorded to determine your overall results.

  The format will be as follows

  10-minute swim

  10-minute transition from swim to bike

  20-minute bike

  5-minute transition from bike to treadmill

  10-minute treadmill

  Athletes as young as 8 are welcome. Anyone under 16 must have a guardian on-site (guardians are welcome to participate too). All participants under 12 must complete and pass the YMCA swim test at least one week prior to the event (by Sunday, November 1) and should be able to continuously swim for 10 minutes. Heats will be assigned and sent out as the event approaches.

  The event will tentatively take place on Sunday, November 8 and the first heat will start at 9am. Check in will start earlier. (This date is subject to change until early September)

  All proceeds benefit the YMCA Annual Campaign, helping provide financial assistance so that everyone in our community can access Y programs year-round.
