Join us for the Quaker Ice Cream Dash 5K, a summer evening race in the heart of Orchard Park that brings together the local running community for a fun and memorable night.
The race kicks off on July 24 at 6:30pm and features a USATF certified out and back course along the scenic Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail, starting and finishing near the Orchard Park Public Library. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or just looking to enjoy a great run with friends and family, this event is open to all ages and ability levels.
After you cross the finish line, the fun keeps going with post race ice cream at the Quaker Days Ice Cream Social, along with live music and fireworks to celebrate the night.
All participants will receive a themed unisex 100% cotton t-shirt if registered by July 10 or while supplies last for the first 200 signups, with youth sizes available.
Awards will be given to top male and female finishers, masters divisions, and age group winners starting at 10 and under through 80+.
Packet pickup will take place at Runner’s Roost in Orchard Park on July 23 from 5 to 8pm, or on race day from 5:15 to 6:15pm at the Orchard Park Village Highway Department.
A portion of proceeds will benefit the Lindsay Karen Matthews Memorial Scholarship.
Come run, walk, volunteer, or cheer and be part of one of the most fun nights of the summer in Orchard Park.
