The Hammond Scottish Festival 5K Kilt Run/Walk takes place at the Hammond Historical Museum in Hammond, New York on July 11, 2026. The 5K event starts at 8:30 AM, giving runners an early-morning departure from their accommodations. Entry fees range from $10 to $35, making this an affordable local race option. As a summer event held in early July, you'll want lodging within reasonable driving distance of the venue to ensure you can arrive with time to spare before the morning start. The combination of a historical museum setting and Scottish festival theme suggests a community-focused event, though specifics about the course itself aren't detailed here. Plan your pre-race logistics accordingly, and book a hotel that allows for an early checkout or nearby accommodation if you're traveling from out of state.
