The OctoberFast Vision
Our Vision
We envision a world where runners always have the opportunity to grow and enjoy post- collegiate running
A little history
The OctoberFast began back in 1982 as part of the Triple Cities Runners Club Grand Prix offering both a 5k and 10k. The event has been run by many different race directors throughout the years and is now its own standalone event currently offering only a road 5k. In 2025 we plan on introducing a track 5k in the spring.
The OctoberFast Mission
We at the OctoberFast aim to provide runners with good competitive events no matter your fitness level, but beyond that we hope to provide reliable information about the greater NY running scene and help foster the competitive drive that lies in us all! Money raised from our events and other endeavors will be used to hold up this commitment to running and the people who run!
