The East Hampton Village Foundation’s 5K run and walk happens on Saturday, starting at Main Beach at 9 a.m.
Advance registration costs $33.80 (including online fees) through tomorrow at by clicking here. On race day it rises to $44.15. The route mimics that of the May Day 5K, passing the estates along Ocean Avenue, Lee Avenue, Apaquogue Road, and Lily Pond Lane, and with the leaves at their fall peak, the course should be especially pretty.
There will be medals for the first 100 finishers.
Polar plunges at Main Beach in East Hampton and Beach Lane in Wainscott on New Year’s Day accomplish many things: bracing and exhilarating starts to the year, the company of many hundreds of friends and fellow townspeople, and a chance to secure bragging rights that extend well into 2026. But most important, each serves as a critical fund-raiser for food pantries.
