About the Buchanan 5K Day Race/Walk
The course starts at a highway garage flagpole and heads out through the streets of Buchanan toward Verplanck, winding through a neighborhood grid before turning down a dead-end cul-de-sac and retracing back to the start. The route stays on residential streets, with cones and a lead cyclist keeping runners on track. A law enforcement presence at key turns means you do not have to guess where to go.
The race is part of a broader town celebration, and the local firehouse hosts festivities afterward for those who want to stick around. Parking is at a Westchester Avenue address that also serves as the hub for the start and finish area.
