John Jay Community Trail Race

SPONSORS

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors! We are always looking for additional sponsors for the community races! We truly appreciate the sponsors who enable us to host a fun and competitive race event.

We are seeking sponsors for the 2027 races. If you are interested in sponsoring or renewing your sponsorship, please contact us at jjtrailrace@gmail.com. When it is close to race day, sponsorship slots for photography sponsor or results sponsor are still available and offer wide visibility to race participants!

We could not put on the event without our SPONSOR PARTNERS -- and we encourage everyone to BUY LOCAL and patronize them!

THE RACE

• Event: The John Jay Community 5k Trail Race is a competitive community race on the new John Jay Community Cross Country Trail.
• Course: The course starts on the lower fields of the John Jay Campus and quickly goes into the wooded trails adjacent to the middle school and high school.
• Finish Line: It ends on the John Jay Contest Track & Field next to Route 121. The trails are challenging and hilly in the woods.
• Trail Walk: The John Jay 4k Trail Walk is a non-competitive walk through the main parts of the John Jay Community Trail.

Note: since the trail and course is on school grounds, animals are not permitted - except for service animals within the ADA definition.

The Kids Jay Dash race will take place after the finish of the 5k run/4k walk. It will be held on the track and the distance will be 200 meters. The first 30 kids to sign up for the Dash will receive a t-shirt!

TRAIL BUILDING

The John Jay Community Cross Country Trail has been developed and built by student and community volunteers to provide a home course for the Westchester County and New York State Championship John Jay Cross Country teams as well as for the community.

If you are interested in helping out, either via donation or volunteering your time, please reach out to us at jjtrailrace@gmail.com for more information. Thank you!
