Harper's 10K and 2-Person Relay

On August 16th, we celebrate the life of Harper Stantz with two great events. The first begins at 9:30 a.m. with Harper's 10K and 2-person relay races, followed at 1:00 p.m. with Harper's Music Festival at Recreation Park in Binghamton*.    

Since 2017, this race has delivered a quality 10K event to the running community. In 2019, we dedicated the race in memory of Harper Stantz, the 16-year-old daughter of Marty and Patty Stantz of Binghamton, NY.

This year we are teaming with the music festival team to provide an epic post-race party including food, beer and music for runners to enjoy. 

The Race:

Race time is 9:30 am with a mass (group) start format. The race course is mostly flat and fast; it may even offer a PR opportunity!  The first leg of the relay is 3.5 miles, the second leg is 2.7 miles.  This allows the relay exchange to be located at the corner near Rec Park.

The Swag:

Be sure to register by midnight July 27th to receive the race t-shirt, with a locally designed Harper 10K logo.
