The 21st Annual Chilly Chili 5K Run/Walk will be Sunday, March 1, 2026. The Snowflake Sprint will begin at 11:30, followed by the 5k starting at noon. After the race there will be a party with chili samples, live music, raffles and a silent auction inside the Caz Middle School gym.

All proceeds from the Chilly Chili benefit Cazenovia Children’s House (CCH), a nonprofit daycare serving our community for over 50 years. This year, CCH is breaking ground on a grant-funded renovation of the building we’ve called home for 30 years. While the grant covers construction, your support helps us meet the additional costs needed to ensure CCH continues providing excellent care for local children and families. Thank you!

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.
