The Northwell Health Great South Bay Run is a long-standing annual tradition held in Bay Shore, New York, attracting runners of all levels to its scenic waterfront courses. Participants can choose from a Half Marathon, 10K, 5K Run/Walk, or a non-competitive 5K Stroller Run, with a virtual mile challenge also available for those who prefer to run on their own. Each distance is on a USATF-certified course that ends at Bay Shore Marina Park; guiding runners through historic downtown, along the picturesque Brightwaters Lakes and canals, and finishing with sweeping views of Fire Island and the Great South Bay. With a welcoming atmosphere and options for both competitive athletes and families, the event combines community spirit with a uniquely beautiful Long Island backdrop.
