We had a warm (85ºF!) and sunny day for the 3rd running of SPRING Run the Farm. This is the 17th time that Run the Farm has been held (3 times in the spring and 14 times in the fall!)
Thank you all for coming out and making it a special day.
We hope you will return next time – we have early registration open for Fall Run the Farm October 25th!
489 runners crossed the finish line between the three races. The two combined kids races had 270 finishers for the day.

5 Miler Results Recap
Edy Jimenez of Brookfield CT was the men’s overall winner with a time of 36:01. This is Edy’s first Run the Farm and first win.
Connor Berry (37:05) of Congers NY came in second to Edy. Julio Bolivar of White Plains was third overall in the men’s race at 38:15.
Lindsey Felling of Fairfield CT won the women’s overall race with a time of 38:50. Lindsey has won the Fall Run the Farm race FIVE times. This is her third Spring Run the Farm win. With 17 Run the Farm events over the past 15 years, Lindsey has won nearly half (8!) of them.
Cassandra Ring of South Salem was just behind Lindsey at second in the women’s race with a time of 39:13.
Delaney Bracken of Stratford CT was third overall with a time of 42:33.
Kids Run the Farm – Race #1 (Age 7-12, 2k distance)
Brody Metz of Ossining won the overall boys 2k race with a time of 7:11.
Ada Willig (12) of Brooklyn won the girls 2k race with a time of 7:44.
Kids Run the Farm – Race #2 (Age 6 & under, 1k distance)
Six year old Jagger O’Connor from South Salem won the girls 1k race in age 6 & under KIDS Run the Farm race. She just missed breaking her 4:43 COURSE record she set last year.
The heat was definitely a factor in this race and others on Sunday, May 17, 2026.
Isaac Brill (6) of Mt Kisco won the 1k Spring KIDS Run the Farm in a time of 5:00.
Course Records
One course record fell this year as Jagger O’Connor set a new mark in the girls age 6 record with a time of 4:46. She also narrowly missed breaking the overall 1k Girls course record of 4:43—set by Jagger herself in 2025—by just three seconds.
Jagger now holds the 5 year old, the 6 year old, and the overall age 6 and under course records.
Muscoot Farm
We want to thank our gracious hosts at Muscoot Farm, especially Jonathon, Mindy, Justin, Mario, Gabrielle, Rich, Steven and everyone who helped out at the farm to get it ready for this first spring event.
Muscoot Farm is one of the beauties of the Westchester County Parks system – in fact TWO YEARS in a row, SIXTY-FOUR Westchester County Parks competed in “March Park Madness” — and Muscoot came away as the top park in Westchester.
But in 2026 they were promoted out of the competition — so other parks could actually have a chance to win the award. Well to us, Muscoot will always be deserving of the Golden Pitchfork! The competition is all in fun and the parks are always pulling for each other!
Muscoot is unique in its purpose and mission in New York State and possibly the country. The authentic 1890s-era historical working farm has enriched the lives and education of generations of kids. Many local parents (myself included) fondly remember going to Muscoot Farm when growing up in the area — and it is fantastic to be able to take our kids to the farm as well.
Volunteers
Thank you to all of the race volunteers who come out and help with the pre-run (aka Cobweb Crew, so named because they are the first on the morning trail, clearing the overnight cobwebs for the runners who come later), registration, setup, timing, handing out farm bucks and medals, distributing bagels, patching up injuries, making sure runners turn onto the correct trail, setting the course, sweeping the course, and cleaning up so other park visitors enjoy the same experience we all had.
Special thanks to Tony & Judy Godino who came out to help and ensure the race event went off without a hitch. Tony started this event in 2010 and has stepped back from organizing — but he and Judy still play a critical role in ensuring runners are on the right course.
Photographs
We also had a team of volunteer photographers (Jacob, Nick, Rob, Orion, plus Runner and Spectator Uploads) out there who took photos of you all (and your kids) on Sunday morning! Check all of their photos here — and check our archive of Run the Farm photo albums arranged by year all the way back to 2010!
If you have photos you’d like to share – and many of you already have (thank you!!), you can upload them using this link. Check out our runner-uploaded photos here.
The Farm, The Music, The People
Spring Run the Farm is part of the 2026 Trail Mix Series. Three of the races have happened, and there are four more races – all in the fall.
- NEXT up in the fall when the series continues is Where the Pavement Ends (Sept 20th), a 4.25 mile single or 8.5 mile double loop through the challenging trails at Lake Windwing in Ridgefield CT.
- After that next up is Paine to Pain trail half marathon (Oct 11th) starting in New Rochelle NY and winding through six towns and multiple trail systems in lower Westchester.
- Fall Run the Farm is the penultimate Trail Mix Race (Oct 25th) back at Muscoot Farm in Katonah/Somers NY. In the fall the course goes counterclockwise (the opposite direction as the Spring race).
- Raven Rocks Run on November 8th is the final race in the Trail Mix Series. It is at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River NY.
Sign up now for these challenging trail races in the 2026 Trail Mix Series!
All Trail Mix runners who complete the Trail Mix Series will be selected automatically in the Loop Lottery if they enter the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery in January.
Farmer’s Market
The Muscoot Farmer’s Market got into full swing an hour earlier than normal to accommodate our runners who were flush with running and farm bucks.
When we redeemed the farm bucks for real $ at the end of the day, the Run The Farm “Farm Bucks Top 5 Vendor” Champs of Spring 2026 were 1.) Freshly Made, 2.) Zen Succulents, 3.) Pickle Joy, 4.) Barbara’s Cafe & Gelato, and 5.) Made by Mander
The Farmer’s Market vendors always love having the runners there — and loved the energy on Sunday!
The Muscoot Farmer’s Market has just kicked off this May and it runs through end of November.
Final Thoughts
We have many many volunteers who make this race a reality. Without them the race simply doesn’t happen. We invite you to check the volunteers page (we update it a bit each year and will do the same as new photos come in for this race). If you know any of them say thanks ;)
Special thanks to the Westchester County Police for keeping runners and families safe when crossing the busy Route 100. Thanks to the cow herd – making sure everyone got farm bucks at the end of the race and the kids runners all got their finisher medals. Thank you to the cow-tographer Orion!
And as always, a big thank you to my wife, Ciorsdan, for always being there!
An extra special thank you goes out to Brendan Porteus, Somers VFD Lieutenant and the Somers VFD EMS crew for coming out and supporting the race and runners. The Somers EMS crew has been coming out since Run The Farm began in 2010. They are always helping and assisting all comers. We had a few twisted ankles, a head injury, and some other scrapes. We are not sure of the outcomes but we hope everyone is feeling better now!
Lastly we want to thank the runners and families who came out to participate in this tradition. We are blessed to be able to celebrate such a great event with all of you.
Peace.
