Catskill Spring Rush & Spring 5k

Set against the scenic waterfront and winding roads of Catskill, the Catskill Spring Rush & Sprint 5K returns on Saturday, May 30, 2026 inviting participants to run, ride, and row their way through one of the region’s most spirited community traditions. Hosted by the Catskill High School Business Club, this multi-sport event blends friendly competition with hometown pride, drawing athletes and spectators alike to experience the energy of the Hudson Valley in motion.

The Spring Rush triathlon-style race kicks off at 8:30 AM, beginning with a run through historic village streets, followed by a scenic bike ride along rolling hills beside the Catskill Creek, and finishing with a kayak or canoe leg on the water. Prefer to keep it on land? The Sprint 5K starts at 9:30 AM, offering a relaxed run or walk option through a charming residential route. Registration opens at 7:00 AM, with participants welcomed by a lively atmosphere, community support, and a shared goal: to conquer the rush.

More than just a race, this long-running event celebrates teamwork, leadership, and local connection—organized by students and supported by the greater Catskill community. With food, race shirts, and medals for all participants, it’s a day designed for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or simply soaking in the mountain air, the Catskill Spring Rush delivers a memorable start to the season in the Great Northern Catskills.
