Swifty 5K

The 2025 Swifty 5K, held at Greek Peak in Cortland, NY, is a unique running event themed "A Run Through the Eras." Participants can choose between a 5K or a 1-mile YMCA version, both featuring a scenic course around Hope Lake with hilly and uneven paved loops. Along the route, runners collect themed bracelets representing Taylor Swift's albums at 11 different era tables. The event is part of the Swifty Spectacular, the largest fundraiser for the Cortland YMCA, and includes Taylor-themed crafts, a scavenger hunt, karaoke, bracelet making, and t-shirt designing.

Registration fees cover event entry, supporting YMCA membership campaigns and building repairs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
