About the Charity Cooperative Suffolk County 5k
The course runs through Blydenburgh Park, starting and finishing at a picnic area and heading out to the dog park and back. The terrain is park paths, and the out-and-back layout means you pass other runners on the return leg. The event is built around charity teams, so the field has a fundraising energy to it rather than a purely competitive one.
Packet pickup and race-day registration both happen at the picnic area before the start. After the race, the same spot turns into a brunch spread with bagels, danish, fruit, yogurt and make-your-own mimosas, with a DJ running music through the awards ceremony. Parking in the main picnic lot is free, with overflow near the dog park and campgrounds.
