Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino announced that the Annual Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor’s 5K Run is slated for Saturday, October 15th at 9:00 am. The 3.1 mile course will wind through the heart of the hamlet of Oyster Bay and participants are encouraged to bring their family and stick around afterwards for all the fun at the Oyster Festival.
“The Supervisor’s 5K Run, held in partnership with the Greater Long Island Running Club (GLIRC), is a unique event that has become an important tradition in the lives of hundreds of runners from throughout the community,” Supervisor Saladino said. “It is widely known for its scenic and challenging course through historic Oyster Bay. It also serves as the official kickoff event to the annual OysterFest, which will make its highly anticipated return for the first time since the pandemic.”
Runners who wish to participate in the event can register at www.glirc.org. The fee to register is $35 for pre-registration and $40 on the day of the race, which will take place from 7:15 am to 8:45 am at the Community Center in the Townsend Square parking lot off East Main Street in Oyster Bay. All registrants will receive a commemorative sweatshirt. There will be a $5.00 pre-registration discount for all Town of Oyster Bay residents. Those who have pre-paid can pick up their race packets on Friday, October 14th at Runner’s Edge, located at 242 Main Street in Farmingdale from noon to 5:00 pm.
