The 3rd Annual Riggie Run & Walk will be held on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute campus, and will feature a 5K Run, 5K Riggie Challenge, 5K Wheelchair Race, 5K Wheelchair Riggie Challenge, 2-Mile Walk, and a 1-Mile Kids Run.
5K Run and Wheelchair participants will have the opportunity to register for the Riggie Challenge in which they will be required to consume one bowl of chicken riggies at the halfway point of the race. For those who wish not to engage in the Challenge, a traditional 5K division will be offered. Prizes will be awarded in both divisions.
New this year, the Riggie Run is teaming up with the Utica Roadrunners Skeleton Run (10/19/25) for a two-run series that will offer incentives for participants who register for both events. These include a $5 discount on both race registrations and additional swag!
The Riggie Run & Walk is the primary fundraiser for Sitrin's Military Program. This unique program provides comprehensive, complimentary care to post-9/11 veterans and service members affected by post-traumatic stress, suicidal ideations, traumatic brain injuries, depression, and other combat-related conditions.
