The 2025 Pelham Half Marathon and 10K takes place on Saturday, November 29, 2025, in Pelham, New York, at 20 Fifth Avenue. This annual community race, held on Thanksgiving weekend, features USAT&F certified courses for both half marathon and 10K distances, along with a kids' fun run option. Late November in Pelham typically brings cool autumn weather with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low-50s Fahrenheit (8-12°C), with possible overcast skies and a chance of light precipitation, making it advisable for participants to dress in layers and consider weather-appropriate gear. The event, organized by Friends of the Pelham Civic Association, Inc., and presented by Hospital for Special Surgery (ranked #1 in orthopedics), attracts over 1,000 participants from Pelham, the greater NYC area, and internationally. All proceeds support the Pelham Civic Association's "Help a Child, Change a Life" program, which provides learning, enrichment, and social services to students.
