Skunk Cabbage Classic 10K & Half Marathon

Join one of Ithaca's most iconic spring traditions at the Skunk Cabbage Classic. Runners will traverse through the scenic Cornell campus and the picturesque Ellis Hollow countryside. Celebrate spring alongside fellow enthusiasts as the skunk cabbages emerge. This year, the event is playfully themed with a nod to Douglas Adams’s "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy," making the race shirts and medals uniquely collectible. Enjoy a welcoming atmosphere with pre- and post-run activities at Cornell’s Barton Hall. Whether aiming for a personal record or enjoying a run with friends, the Skunk Cabbage Classic promises an unforgettable experience.
