Cider 5 - Middletown, NY

Cider 5 - Middletown, NY is held in Middletown, in Orange County, New York, on October 24, 2026, with three options. The 5K walk goes first at 8:50 a.m., the five-mile run follows at 9:00 a.m., and the 5K run starts at 9:10 a.m. The course is a scenic one with fine views, and it suits experienced racers and casual participants alike. Ample parking is available at Holy Cross church.

The event supports charitable initiatives of Knights of Columbus Council #16365, with proceeds going to various organizations. Choosing between the distances is mostly about your recent training: the 5K rewards a month of steady running with one hard session a week, while five miles asks for a weekly long run and a bit more patience in the opening mile, since the extra two miles will find anyone who starts too fast.
