About the Bulldog Block Challenge 2026
The race starts and finishes at the Ithaca Town Garage, and a virtual option lets participants run or walk wherever they like on their own schedule. The in-person course is a short run through the area around Richland Center, with a walk distance available for those who want a gentler morning out.
Packet pickup happens on race morning at the start, so there is no need to come out the day before. Registration opens early in the morning before the gun goes off. Goody bags are available while supplies last for day-of registrants.
