Miles for Miracles 5k Run & Walk to benefit the Rescue Mission of Utica 2026

Miles for Miracles is a Saturday morning 5k run and 1 mile walk held at TR Proctor Park in Utica, New York. The 5k begins at 9:00 AM, followed by the walk at 9:15 AM, allowing runners and walkers to participate on the same event day without covering identical distances. This community fundraiser benefits the Rescue Mission of Utica, offering timed results for the 5k and awards for overall and age-group winners. The route winds through Proctor Park, providing a local park atmosphere instead of a city-street race feel. The Rescue Mission of Utica has been serving the region for over 135 years, assisting individuals facing addiction, homelessness, mental health challenges, and food insecurity. The event accommodates both competitive 5k runners and casual walkers, and organizers welcome volunteers and sponsors.
