Planting Fields Fall 5K

Join us for our 6th Annual Fall 5K, a beloved autumn tradition that welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re a seasoned runner chasing a personal best, a casual walker, or simply looking to immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of the season, this event is the perfect way to celebrate fall with friends, family, and the community.

The scenic 5K course winds through the breathtaking historic Olmsted Brothers-designed landscape, offering a race experience unlike any other on Long Island. Participants will traverse paved pathways, open grassy turf, and winding forest trails with natural dirt and rocky terrain that showcase the preserve’s diverse beauty. Approximately 170 feet of elevation gain, highlighted by the signature ascent beginning at the Carshalton Gates, provides just the right amount of challenge, making the course as rewarding as it is picturesque.
