Go for the Green 5K 2026: Smithtown, Suffolk County Event Spotlight & Details
The Go for the Green 5K returns to Smithtown on March 14. County Roofing Systems brings attention to the event to support local community. Find out everything about the event below.
On March 14, runners and walkers will gather at Smithtown Elementary School for the Go for the Green 5K — one of the annual St. Patrick’s Day season races that has become a staple on Long Island’s community calendar.
The race supports lung cancer research through the Rotary Club of Smithtown, and it’s exactly the kind of event that reminds us why we’ve stayed rooted on Long Island for over 35 years.
County Roofing Systems is based right here in Melville, and communities like Smithtown, Kings Park, Commack, and the surrounding areas of northern Suffolk County have been part of our service area since the beginning. When events like the Go for the Green bring the community together, we’re proud to be part of it.
About the Race
The Go for the Green 5K takes place rain or shine on Saturday, March 14, 2026, with a 9:00 AM start at Eisenhower Park. The race benefits the Rotary Club of Smithtown’s charitable giving, with proceeds supporting lung cancer research and awareness. Whether you’re a competitive runner or just showing up for the green shirt and the community atmosphere, it’s a great way to spend a Saturday morning as spring gets rolling on Long Island.
If you’re planning to participate, registration details are available through the Long Island running community events calendar.

Rooted in Suffolk County
For us, supporting events like this isn’t a marketing exercise. It’s part of what it means to be a Long Island company. We’re not a regional franchise or a national contractor that rotates crews through.
Our team lives and works here. When we’re on a rooftop in Smithtown or Kings Park, we know the neighborhoods, we know what these homes have been through, and we understand what Long Island winters actually do to a roof.
That community connection is also why we take permit compliance seriously in every town in Suffolk County — from the Town of Smithtown’s building department to the incorporated village permit offices scattered throughout the area. Local knowledge matters, and it shows in how we work.
Spring Is Roof Season
With St. Patrick’s Day marking the official arrival of spring on Long Island, it’s also the time when homeowners start to see what the winter left behind. Ice dams, displaced shingles, granule loss, flashing issues around chimneys and dormers — these are the things March reveals when the snow finally clears.
If you’re a Suffolk County homeowner who’s been putting off a roof inspection or noticed something during the winter that you want looked at, spring is the right time to call. We offer free estimates across the entire Suffolk County service area, and we’ll give you a straight answer on what your roof actually needs.
Make Your Home Look Better Than Ever This Spring with County Roofing Systems
(and Get FREE Gutters and Leaders Service)
County Roofing Systems team repairing and replacing roofs throughout Long Island.
Winter has a way of filling up your gutters and leaders with debris, granules, and the remnants of every storm that rolled through since October.
As the cold season winds down, clearing them out isn’t just cosmetic. Clogged gutters heading into spring rain season can back up against your fascia and lead to the kind of water damage that turns into a much bigger conversation.
Right now, County Roofing Systems is offering FREE gutters and leaders service with the purchase of any new roofing system. Start the season right — a new roof and clean, functioning gutters and leaders make your home look better than ever, and protect it where it counts.
