Great Cow Harbor 10K
The Great Cow Harbor 10-Kilometer Run is a road running event held annually in the Long Island village of Northport, New York, on the third Saturday each September. The race is co-organized by its organizing committee (The Great Cow Harbor 10-Kilometer Run, Inc.), the Northport Running Club, and Northport American Legion Post 694. The title sponsor is North Fork Bank. Proceeds from the race benefit the Special Olympics of Long Island.
==History==
The Great Cow Harbor 10K was created by John Rakucewicz and first run in 1977. 1,002 runners finished the first Cow Harbor 10K. The race steadily grew throughout the 1980s; in 1985, the race instituted a staggered start (named for designer John J. Pitfick), which is still in use. The 1986 race fell victim to its own popularity - it had grown so large that the organizers could no longer handle it. Supporters regrouped and the Great Cow Harbor 10K resumed the next year.
The 2001 edition was canceled in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks; Northport is east of Ground Zero.
Three years later, the race was run in a driving downpour, the results of the remnants of Hurricane Ivan. Over half of the finishers' times weren't recorded because the timing equipment was waterlogged.
