Nicholas Pedone 5K Marks Special Milestone This Morning

Sea Cliff, NY · August 30, 2026

A quiet mist settles over the bluffs this morning, making way for a full Sunday of harbor breezes and neighborhood gatherings.

The Lead

Hundreds of local runners, walkers, and families are gathering along Dosoris Lane this morning for the 13th Annual Nicholas Pedone Foundation 5K. Today’s event carries unique resonance for North Shore neighbors: it coincides directly with what would have been Nicholas’s 21st birthday.

Since 2013, the foundation created in the seven-year-old Glen Cove boy’s memory has raised over $1.5 million to deliver smilePAKs and direct financial assistance to pediatric oncology patients and their families. Participants dressed in gold will wind 3.1 miles through surrounding neighborhood streets before finishing near the high school athletic fields for awards and live music. Race marshals will manage intermittent morning traffic along the route through midday.

Spotlight & Story

Littleworth Lane
- Littleworth Lane traces an ancient path across the peninsula. Eighteenth-century farmers nicknamed the corridor "Littleworth" due to its sandy, nutrient-poor soil, long before Victorian cottages replaced the modest farmsteads that struggled along its bends.
