We’re looking forward to the upcoming Shelter Island 10K Race! Charmingly picturesque Shelter Island sets the stage for the 36th annual event on Saturday, June 20th at 5:30pm. The historic race has been touted as one of the country’s most beautiful runs by Runner’s World magazine…and anyone that’s spent time on Shelter Island can surely validate that!
In addition to the surrounding beauty, this event is fun for all and directly benefits a variety of local causes, from scholarships and grants for Shelter Island Schools to charities such as East End Hospice and Reach Within. The Shelter Island 10K is proud to have the 2014 Boston Marathon winner and Olympic Silver Medalist, Meb Keflezighi, along with fellow elite runners Katie DiCamillo, Hirut Guangul and Amos Sang run in this year’s race.
What’s better than running with pre-sunsent harbor views, world-class athletes, and an easygoing island vibe? Celebrating afterwards…right?! So register now for the 10k or 5k run/walk and you’re also invited to celebrate with SALT Restaurant at the Island Boatyard with live music, dancing, free BBQ for runners, and free shuttle service. Click here for the full event schedule, including pasta dinner, free kids run, pre-race stretching clinic, and book signing with Meb Keflezigh.
