The Church of St. Andrew 5K Steeplechase 5K
WELCOME TO THE CHURCH OF ST. ANDREW
The Church of St. Andrew in Richmondtown was founded in 1708.
It is one of the oldest active Episcopal churches in the United States and indeed the oldest church on Staten Island. Within St. Andrew’s 317-year history, there has never been a recorded foot race staged on these hallowed grounds until the creation of this event. On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Episcopal Church of St. Andrew will hold its 5th annual 3.1-mile run and 1.1-mile walk. By participating, you will be contributing to the various charitable initiatives led by our church, and your involvement will help us continue making a positive impact in the Staten Island community.
We are very excited this year to announce that we are the first leg of the inaugural Staten Island FALL TRIFECTA. By completing this race and the 2nd and 3rd leg events, you qualify to be recognized at our Trifecta celebration. When you click to register (see above “Series Registration”) to sign up for all three events at a discounted rate.
The start/finish area is next to the Church itself and runs over a well-known footpath, traversing the landscape of the greenbelt.
Join us on Saturday, September 26th, to connect with fellow participants, meet new friends, and engage in the welcoming, inclusive atmosphere of the Church of St. Andrew… and become part of our history.
