About the VFW Post 6249 Suffolk County World War II and Military History Museum's Rails to Trail 5K
The course starts at the VFW Post and museum grounds, then heads out along a rails-to-trails path. That kind of surface is paved and even underfoot, with no significant climbing, so the running is straightforward. The museum setting gives the start area a bit of weight, a reminder of what the race is actually raising awareness for.
Registration opens well before the gun, giving you time to park and settle in. Refreshments are out at the finish. The start and finish are both at the VFW Post, so there is no shuttle or second-car logistics to think about.
