Race Details:

Race Sign UpIt’s our Runnaversary! The Erie Runners Club 5th Annual Tutu Run/Walk is happening on Sunday, April 26, 2026! Hard to believe it’s been 5 years, but it has! Come on out and enjoy some light hearted silliness while supporting a great cause. There are two distances to choose from: 2.2 Miles or 4.4 Miles. You can run or walk – this event is family friendly.

The Shirt:

Of course, the shirt is fabulous! It’s a short-sleeved tri-blend t-shirt – soft and comfortable. And we’ve made it so that you don’t have to purchase the shirt with the race if you don’t want to! The shirt purchase is optional. But...if you want to guarantee your size, you will need to order no later than April 2 nd . These days, we have to order well in advance to make sure we get the shirts for our races. *Note, we will not be ordering a bunch of extra shirts. We order only what we need in order to maximize our donation to Safenet.

Awards:

There will be awards for first, second and third place finishers for both male and female in each race. And there will be a cash reward for the best Tutu for male and female finisher. The race takes place on Sunday April 26, 2025 at the ERC Beach One Pavilion and will benefit SafeNet Erie. The 4.4 mile event will start at 9 am and the 2.2 mile event will start at 9:15 am. There will be snacks and water provided for participants at the end of the race.
