Braving The Elements 5k 2027

Braving The Elements 5k is a winter 5k in Arcade, New York, held during the town’s Winterfest. It begins at Arcade Elementary School following the Winterfest parade and leads runners through town in cold-weather conditions, finishing at the Arcade VFW on Main Street. The event is designed for local participation, offering separate student and adult pricing and race-day registration after online signups close. The course is point-to-point, starting at the elementary school on West Main Street and ending at the VFW on Main Street. Packet pickup and check-in occur at the school before the parade. A portion of each registration fee supports a charity, early registrants receive race shirts, and families can bring children for a free fun run at the local park.
