21st Annual Cazenovia Children's House Chilly Chili 5K

The 21st Annual Chilly Chili 5K Run/Walk will be Sunday, March 1, 2026. The Snowflake Sprint will begin at 11:30, followed by the 5k starting at noon. After the race there will be a party with chili samples, live music, raffles and a silent auction inside the Caz Middle School gym.

All proceeds from the Chilly Chili benefit Cazenovia Children’s House (CCH), a nonprofit daycare serving our community for over 50 years. This year, CCH is breaking ground on a grant-funded renovation of the building we’ve called home for 30 years. While the grant covers construction, your support helps us meet the additional costs needed to ensure CCH continues providing excellent care for local children and families. Thank you!

Packet Pickup at Fleet Feet Syracuse TBD
