4k Jay Walk

The 4k walk starts after the 5k race start. Participants wait until the 5k participants return from their first mini-loop around the Pit Field. It begins in the same place -- at the John Jay Middle School (JJMS) field. It traverses the trails of the John Jay Community Trail, skipping the first out-and-back loop. It runs the opposite direction of the 5k race so 4k walk participants will see all of the runners as they head around the course on their way to the finish at the John Jay Contest Field.

Kids Jay Dash

The Kids Jay Dash is a 200 meter race on the John Jay Contest Track (the purple track around the turf field). 200 meters is halfway around the track in the shape of a "J." This is where the Jay Dash name comes from!

The Kids Jay Dash is open to students in 5th grade and under.

Depending on the number of signups, the Kids Jay Dash may be run in multiple heats by age group (4&under, 5-8 years, and 9-11).

The start time of the 200m Kids Jay Dash is usually around 10am but may happen later around 10:15 if the 5k runners and 4k walkers are not clear of the course.

Open to ages 2 - 11.
