About This Race
The Skunk Cabbage Classic is a beloved spring tradition in the Finger Lakes region, organized by the Finger Lakes Runners Club. Named after the early-blooming wetland plant, this race offers both a 10K and half marathon on a rolling rural course around Ithaca. Starting and finishing at Cornell University's Barton Hall, it marks the unofficial start of the running season in Central New York.
