The Broome County Parks 5K Series hosts a 1-mile run starting at 6:30 PM on July 9, 2026, in Binghamton, New York, giving you a weeknight race window that works well for travelers arriving after work. The event is based at 60 Hawley Street. Entry fees range from $20 to $60 depending on registration options. This evening timing means you can plan your arrival and accommodation around a later race start, making it feasible to drive in the same day if needed. Whether you're using this as a summer training effort or a tune-up race, the 1-mile distance offers a solid workout option without requiring a full day's commitment.
