GR 5K Run/Walk

We’re bringing the community together for something new in May: the Guardian Revival 5K. Whether you run or walk, come with the family or form a team with your department, this event is about honoring the guardians who serve our communities every day — military, veterans, and first responders.

Enjoy a scenic out-and-back course along Lake Gleneida on the Putnam Trailway, capped off with a challenging uphill finish to earn your victory.

But this race is about more than the finish line — it’s about community, remembrance, and support. Every registration’s proceeds go towards Guardian Revival and our programs for guardians & their families.

We’re also encouraging personal bests and friendly rivalry (especially across departments and organizations) with awards for those who rise above the rest:

  • Top individual finishers 🏅

  • Fastest team ⚡

  • Largest team 📊

We see you: PD. FD. EMS. Veterans groups. Running clubs. Community teams. Get together with your crew and see if you can be the best (for a good cause!).

All participants receive Guardian Revival race swag, and early registrants receive a bonus event T-shirt.
