We regret to announce that the Joe Latino Winter Relays scheduled for this Saturday have been cancelled.
While we were looking forward to a great race, the safety of our runners is our top priority. Due to the recent heavy snowfall the park cannot ensure a safe, cleared race route or accessible parking by Saturday morning therefore the Park Manager has officially cancelled the event.
We are disappointed to miss you this year, but we truly value your support and look forward to seeing you at the starting line for the Joe Latino Winter Relays next year!

The Joe Latino Winter Relays have been a mainstay of winter running on Long Island ever since it was started by Joe Latino, one of Northport Running Clubs founding members. First run in 1980, held in late February, has always had the reputation of some of the best running enjoyment on the worst weather day of winter. Some of the last few years have broken tradition, and have had some exceptional warm February weather. Originally a 6x2 mile relay, the number of runners to form a team was reduced to 3 runners so that more teams can participate.
If you have yet to do the relay, get yourself together with 2 other runners and come on down. The race gets some exceptionally fast teams, as well as many teams that just longing for the camaraderie of a team event. We've tried to keep the event a low-keyed event, and charge a minimal amount just to offset some of the race expenses.
We offer a large number of team awards and some nice refreshments.
