Eastwood Neighborhood Association

For 20 years, ENA has worked to promote and support our Eastwood neighborhood through social, economic, and civic engagement.

 

17th Annual Eastwood Five-Mile Run

Presented by Skinner & Associates Realty

Sunday, October 22. Race starts at 10AM

Find more info at www.eastwoodrun.com

Please consider volunteering to help make the Eastwood 5 Mile Run a success! Sign up and learn more here.

Our greatest need is for corner monitors! The race is on an open course meaning it isn’t fully closed to vehicle traffic during the race. Corner monitors are assigned to an intersection on the course to help direct runners and traffic. This is crucial to providing a safe and enjoyable experience to all the runners that visit our neighborhood. With over 60 intersections on the course, we need lots of neighbors to help out with this task.

Thank you to Nav’s Popcorn, Cracked Bean Roastery & Cafe, The Curd Nerd, Russo Produce, and Dunkin Donuts for donating refreshments!

Thank you to Cazenovia Equipment Company for sponsoring this year’s medals and to Fifth District Common Councilor Jimmy Monto for sponsoring the race bibs.

Traffic Disruption

Do you live on or near the race route? Please be prepared for temporary traffic disruptions on the morning of Sunday, October 22. The race starts at 10:00 AM at Henninger High School. Volunteers will have barricades set up on cross streets to keep the runners safe. When there is a gap in the pack, volunteers will let you go around the barricades to cross, but you may have to wait a few minutes for runners to pass. Thank you for your patience.

Cheer Squads Needed!

Help us cheer on the 300+ runners that will visit Eastwood this Sunday! Costumes, signs, musical instruments, and more are welcome! Help us show off how fun Eastwood is! See if you can find the bagpiper along the route!
