The Church of St. Andrew 5K Steeplechase

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 active church on Staten Island. In St. Andrew’s 316-year history, there has never been a recorded foot race staged on these hallowed grounds until the creation of this event. On Saturday, September 27, 2025, the Episcopal Church of St. Andrew will hold its 4th 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 and beyond.

The start/finish area is next to the Church itself and runs over a well-known footpath, traversing the lush landscape of the greenbelt.

Join us on Saturday, September 27th, to connect with fellow participants, meet new friends, and engage in the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere of the Church of St. Andrew… and make yourself part of our history.
