Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor's 5K Run/Walk GLIRC 2026

On Saturday, October 17, 2026, runners and walkers of all abilities will gather at the Oyster Bay Community Center for the Town Supervisor's 5K Run/Walk. This annual event kicks off the festivities for the beloved OYSTER FESTIVAL in Townsend Square.
Participants can expect a scenic course that winds through historic Oyster Bay, offering glimpses of charming waterfront views and picturesque residential areas along the way. The race is organized by the Town of Oyster Bay Department of Parks and Recreation in partnership with the Greater Long Island Running Club to promote community health and engagement.
All entrants will receive high-quality finisher medals and classic crew neck sweatshirts, making this event a memorable experience for everyone involved. Race day registration opens at 7:30 AM, giving participants ample time to warm up before the race start at 9 AM sharp.
The Town Supervisor's Run is more than just a run; it’s an opportunity to support local charities and community initiatives. This year, all proceeds will benefit The Life Enrichment Center at Oyster Bay, which provides essential services for older adults aiming to maintain active lifestyles while staying healthy and engaged in their communities.
For those interested in volunteering or learning about race-day operations, additional details can be found on the event webpage. Volunteers are an integral part of making this community-driven event a success year after year.
As a USATF-LONG ISLAND sanctioned race, participants will have the chance to compete individually and as teams for scoring within the USATF-LI Grand Prix series. Whether you're looking to set personal bests or just enjoy a leisurely walk through scenic Oyster Bay, this event offers something for all levels of runners.
Join us on October 17th in Townsend Square to celebrate health, community spirit, and the start of another fantastic OYSTER FESTIVAL season!
