Proceeds to benefit the Uplift Collective and the Delaware Valley Humane Society

Sidney, NY —  The Wakeman Coffee Company and Muddy River Farm Brewery have partnered to host the first annual Sidney Brew-to-Brew 5K road race at 11 AM on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Start your morning with an energizing coffee as the race begins at Wakeman, and reward yourself at the finish line with a crisp cold beer—or NA beverage—and stunning views of the Susquehanna River at Muddy River!

Runners and walkers of all ability levels are welcome! Registration is open now at https://runsignup.com/Race/NY/Sidney/SidneyBrewToBrew5K or by scanning the QR code below. 

Registration costs $25 now through August 30 and will increase to $35.60 on August 31. Race-day registration will be available for $46.20. All race participants will receive a t-shirt, a medal (upon race completion), and drink tokens for Wakeman & Muddy with their registration. 

Proceeds from the race will benefit two great local non-profit organizations: 

• The Uplift Collective, a Sidney Center-based nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in the Western Catskills and Southern Tier, particularly those facing a significant health crisis, and 

• The Delaware Valley Humane Society, which provides shelter and compassionate care for homeless animals.

“We’re thrilled to have the Wakeman Coffee Company serve as the start line for this exciting new community event, one that will benefit two great nonprofit organizations right here in Sidney,” said Jesse Wakeman, owner of the Wakeman Coffee Company.

“Muddy River can’t think of a better way to start a Saturday than a road race that features coffee at the start line and ice cold beer at the finish. Join your friends and family to cheer them on to the finish line and enjoy the rest of the day by the river!” said Jared Wood, owner of Muddy River Farm Brewery.

“Every dollar raised for the Delaware Valley Humane Society goes a long way toward helping the animals that we serve, and we’re excited to partner with Wakeman and Muddy River on this road race, and runners will be able to see our shelter and hear our dogs and cats cheering them on as they pass by on the course,” said Erin Insinga, Shelter Director at the Delaware Valley Humane Society.

"The Uplift Collective (formerly the Sidney Center Improvement Group) is honored to be one of the first recipients of funds raised from this event - which will go towards providing comforts to and positive experiences for children in our community going through a significant health crisis. 5K's are a wonderful way of bringing people together, focusing on health and positivity in order to raise money for a great cause. The Uplift Collective and its volunteer members are looking forward to being a partner in this annual event and seeing it thrive. We'll see you along the route!” said Mike Sellitti, president of The Uplift Collective.
