Kiwanis Club of Newburgh Scholarship Run

Kiwanis Club of Newburgh Scholarship Run is held in Newburgh, New York, on October 25, 2026, over a single distance of 4 miles, or 6.4 kilometers, starting at 9:00 a.m. The route circles Chadwick Lake on a wide gravel trail with gentle hills, and you may run or walk it.

Gravel and rolling ground change how you should pace this: run by effort rather than by watch, ease the pressure on the climbs, and let the descents give the time back. Trail shoes are not required, but a shoe with some tread will feel steadier than a racing flat. Four miles is a friendly racing distance, longer than a 5K without demanding a marathon block behind it. Entry includes a shirt and a gift bag, awards go to the top men and women by age group, raffle tickets with prizes from local businesses are sold separately, and food and refreshments follow. Proceeds fund scholarships and enrichment programs for children in the community.
