Thousand Island Park 5K : event overview
The Thousand Island Park 5K is scheduled for Saturday, July 4, 2026, in Thousand Island Park, NY (Outlook Avenue, 13692). The race is a memorial footrace to honor General TJ "Demon" Costello, a former United States Air Force fighter pilot. The event began at a family reunion in 2013 and has since grown to include the local TI Park community. Walkers and strollers are explicitly welcome.
