30th Annual Ellen’s Run 5K, Sunday, August 17th
‘Best Event in Hamptons’ is a Celebration of life
Calling all runners and walkers!
Ellen’s Run 5K celebrates 30 years of leading the fight against breast cancer on the East End with its annual race/walk at 9 am, Sunday, August 17. The run, sponsored by The Ellen Hermanson Foundation, and named the “Best Event in the Hamptons” for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 24 and many previous years is a community celebration of life for residents and visitors alike.
The foundation is the principal funder of the Ellen Hermanson Breast Centers at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and Hampton Bays, which serve the entire East End of Long Island where breast cancer diagnosis and mortality rates are among the highest in the state.
The race/walk starts and ends, rain or shine, at the Southampton Intermediate School, 70 Leland Lane, Southampton. The 3.1mile course runs through town, down tree and mansion-lined roads, along the ocean blocks and back. The run, one of the largest on the South Fork, is sanctioned by the Long Island branch of USA Track and Field.
Team entries are welcome. Affiliated groups of five are considered a team. In previous years, teams have ranged from families, friends, businesses, organizations, schools and breast cancer survivors. Teams can include both runners and walkers and each participant will be timed individually making that person eligible for individual awards.
The top female, male, and breast cancer runner will be awarded a trophy. The first 500 finishers will receive a medal and there are place medals for the first finisher in each age category. A beautiful rose will be waiting for each breast cancer survivor to finish the race.
