Orange Runners Club's
Second Summer Sizzle 5k

Presenting Sponsor in 2025 - MedicareCindy

The second annual Orange Runners Club Summer Sizzle XC 5k is a cross country race rooted in the spirit of team work, dedication, competition and fun. Join us this July at the Rich Furst Sanfordville Elementary School XC Course in Warwick, NY, home to a rich history of Cross Country running, including the host of the NYSPHSAA State Championship. 

Will be held on an off road cross country course using the well groomed Sanfordville Elementary School cross country 5k course at the Home of the Wildcats.

Summer Sizzle race director, and our track coach, Justin DePierro has assured me this course will knock our socks off, and we will see some great running here.

Plan to come out in July and enjoy a change of pace running on the beautiful greenery of Orange County in the inaugural Summer Sizzle.

Parking is available in the school lots and the event will be held rain or shine. Please respect the school property and don't litter or deface the course. Strollers and animals are not allowed. Thank you!

Our Summer Sizzle XC 5k has a goal to raise money for the launch of the Shoe Program. The mission of The Shoe Program is to ensure that every young athlete, regardless of their financial background, has access to high-quality running shoes and gear that are correctly fitted to their needs. We believe that no athlete should be held back by the lack of proper equipment, and we are committed to making a difference in the lives of these young runners. The Orange Runners Club wants to ensure that an athlete’s first experiences in Cross Country and Track & Field are positive to develop future life-long runners, which aligns with the mission of the ORC.

Partnership with Confluence Running, Hudson Valley:
In pursuit of this mission, we have partnered with Confluence Running Hudson Valley, a leader in providing high-quality running gear and expertise in shoe fitting. Their dedication to the community and their proficiency in ensuring the right fit for every runner make them the ideal partner for The Shoe Program. Together, we are working to ensure that the next generation of athletes can chase their dreams without restraint.
