(WATERTOWN, NY) – The Volunteer Transportation Center Foundation is excited to announce the return of the Black River Trail Run, a 5K/10K/15K race on the Black River Trail in Jefferson County.

The event – slated for Saturday, May 2 –  is hosted by Willow Running, an organization based in Central New York that hosts events across the state to raise money for various nonprofit organizations. The mission of their organization – led by Race Director Mike Samoraj – is to offer a high-quality experience that goes beyond the actual race event.

The run will be on the Black River Trail, beginning at the trailhead off State Route 3, just outside the village of Black River. It will begin with its 5K and 15K portions beginning at 9 a.m. The event’s 10K will begin at 10 a.m. Those wishing to participate in any of the races virtually may do so.

The cost of registration for the in-person races is currently $43.40 for the 5K, $54 for the 10K and $69.900 for the 15K. Registration for the virtual races and Ruck division are also available. Sign-up fees apply for all races and registration costs increase Thursday, April 30. Registration for all races is available online at https://runsignup.com/Race/NY/Watertown/BlackRiverTrail15K10K5K.
