1. When Personal Transformation Becomes Public Recreation (peekskillherald.com) — Every Friday evening, residents can join the free Paisa Run Club at the Peekskill waterfront for a supportive 5K with pace groups for all levels and post-run socializing. Founded by two friends who grew up in Peekskill, the club emphasizes community, culture, and encouragement over speed, and shares updates and weather cancellations on Instagram.
   

2. Bikers Back Depew Park and Riverfront Riding Proposal (peekskillherald.com) — Peekskill officials are weighing whether to permanently allow bicycles and Class 1 e-bikes on trails in Depew Park and along the riverfront, including Peekskill Landing and Riverfront Green. At a recent public hearing, most speakers backed the change for health and economic reasons, while several longtime residents raised concerns about preserving Depew's quiet, natural character and enforcing safe trail use before the council's Oct. 26 continuation.
   

3. Somers football pounds Peekskill in home opener (halstonmedia.com) — Peekskill High's football team traveled to Somers on Sept. 25 but struggled to move the ball in a lopsided 41–0 loss. Somers' offense scored early and often, while Peekskill managed only a few first downs. For local fans, it's a tough result that highlights where the Blue Devils will need to improve this season.
