John Jay Community Trail Race

Welcome to the John Jay Community 5k Trail Race website! Get ready for an exciting and competitive race on the brand new John Jay Community Cross Country Trail. We're thrilled to invite you to be a part of this incredible event! The race starts on the lower fields of the John Jay Campus and takes you through the challenging and hilly wooded trails adjacent to the middle school and high school. Finally, you'll cross the finish line on the John Jay Contest Track & Field next to Route 121. It's going to be an adrenaline-pumping experience! But that's not all - we also have the John Jay 4k Trail Walk, a non-competitive walk through the main parts of the John Jay Community Trail. You'll get to enjoy most of the trail alongside the 5k runners, only skipping a small section of the southern hill loop. It's a fantastic opportunity to get active and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Both the 5k race and the 4k walk will end at the John Jay Contest Field, where the vibrant atmosphere will be contagious. Plus, we have a special treat for the first 150 pre-registered runners and walkers - a complimentary race t-shirt! Don't wait, sign up now to secure your spot and grab this awesome bonus. Oh, and we can't forget about our youngest participants - the Kids Jay Dash race! After the 5k run and 4k walk, the Kids Jay Dash will take place on the track. A fun 200-meter sprint designed specifically for our energetic kids. And guess what? The first 30 kids to sign up will receive a t-shirt too! It's going to be a day of excitement and family fun. The John Jay Community Cross Country Trail has been built by our dedicated student and community volunteers. It serves as the home course for the Westchester County and New York State Championship John Jay Cross Country teams, as well as the entire community. If you're interested in helping out, whether through donation or volunteering your time, we would be thrilled to have you on board.
