Another Festive Morning for Binghamton Running
The St. Patrick’s Day 4-Miler continues to be one of the Southern Tier’s signature early-season road races. It is the kind of event that brings together competitive front-runners, longtime local racers, first-time participants, families, and younger athletes all in one shared celebration of community running.
From the energy at the start line to the finish-line smiles and post-race conversations, this race once again showed why Binghamton’s running culture remains so strong. Events like this are not only about times and placements. They are also about tradition, atmosphere, and giving runners a memorable local experience.
Overall Winners Set the Tone
At the front of the men’s race, Daniel Schaffer of Endicott took the overall win in 19:45.40, followed by Matthew Cavaliere of Binghamton in 20:14.50 and Max Jaffe in 20:26.80.
On the women’s side, Aziza Chigatayeva of Binghamton led the way in 23:16.10 and Emily Gunther of Vestal in 25:09.69.
In the masters division, Jordan Varano of Binghamton was the top male masters finisher in 23:25.52, while Marci Shofkom of Harpursville led the female masters field in 27:19.43.
These leading performances gave the race immediate energy, but what makes the St. Patrick’s Day 4-Miler stand out year after year is that the event is about far more than the front of the field. It is one of those races where the top finishers and the broader pack both help tell the full story.
Age Group Highlights
The age-group results showed strong depth across the board. In the youth divisions, Nicolás Romo of Binghamton won the boys 14-and-under division in 28:46.93, while Vivian Gregory of Endicott led the girls 14-and-under group in 38:34.26.
In the 15–19 age groups, Lorenzo Christian won the boys division in 22:05.80, and Madelyn Ellison of Spencer led the girls in 35:37.86.
The 20–29 groups were especially competitive. Matthew Jacob of New Rochelle won the men’s 20–29 division in 20:53.95, and Vicky Mordivinova won the women’s 20–29 division in 25:10.53.
In the 30–39 brackets, Benjamin Snodgrass of Endicott took the men’s division in 21:49.42, while Samantha Snead of Blakely led the women’s side in 26:15.62.
The full age-group results reflect one of the biggest strengths of this event: broad participation across ages, abilities, and experience levels. That kind of depth is a sign of a healthy local running scene and a race that continues to matter to the Binghamton community.
The Photos Tell the Bigger Story
The race photos from this year capture much more than finishing times. They show runners bundled against March conditions, athletes smiling in green before the start, packs working together on course, and the kind of finish-line reactions that make local road races memorable.
Some of the strongest images from a race like this are not only the winners. They are the photos of the pack charging off the line, the younger runners leaning into the effort, the mid-race groups locked into pace, the spectators cheering from the sidelines, and the final push to the finish. Those are the photos that help bring the full race-day atmosphere to life.
