Shelter Island Run 10K & 5K Shelter Island, NY   Jun 21, 2025

Long Island’s destination race and one of the most scenic races in the country! The non-profit Shelter Island Run, Inc. founded in 1980 is dedicated to create positive awareness through running and health at our renowned annual 10k road race. Our mission is to provide funds to our communities youth, adults and seniors through education and services. We wish to inspire and support others by assisting our local charities through philanthropy.

Beginning with the inaugural run in 1980, this decade nationwide was described as the “running era”. The Shelter Island 10K run founded by Cliff Clark, John Strode, and Jack Faith, thoughtfully combined the excitement of an elite field with the “everyday runner”.

The beautiful course, enthusiastic, diverse participants and wonderful volunteers merged to produce an amazing event that not only highlighted our run but also assisted our charities, the Suffolk County Special Olympics and the SI 10K Community Run.
