REGISTRAION IS CLOSED FOR THE 2014 SYRATHON RACE SERIES

8 Races / 10 City Neighborhoods / Hundreds of acres of parks

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THE SYRATHON RACE SERIES. IF YOU REGISTER AFTER 4/28 YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR SHIRT ON OUR NEXT ORDER.

Fleet Feet Sports, the Syracuse New Times, Saucony and C&S Companies once again join the Parks Department to bring together the following established road races, based in the City of Syracuse, into this unique series. The Syrathon Race Series showcase Syracuse's terrific Parks system, true gems embedded in a host of vibrant, diverse city neighborhoods in an eight race foot tour of the city. Whether you are just beginning, or are a seasoned runner, the Series is designed to encourage healthful physical activity year-round, while promoting the sights and sounds of city life!

Syrathon is made possible by the support of its sponsors, and, of course, because of the tremendous efforts of the individual race committees. Each of the Series races are well-established because of the hard work and creative, thoughtful planning of individual race committee.  Each race has its own flavor, and the dedication of all race volunteers brings great benefit to respective city neighborhoods and to so many charitable causes.

The Challenge

Become a Syrathoner: Run your own personal marathon by accumulating 26.2 miles over the course of the series. Select enough races to meet your goal, all while benefiting local neighborhood associations and great charitable causes.

Become an UltraSyrathoner: Run at least 7 or the 8 series races and log a total of 37.5 miles to claim the UltraSyrathon title. Additional miles can be completed at the Creek Walk Mile fun runs if needed.
*Pleas note that 37.5 miles is different from previous years to accommodate changes that have been made to the race series.

Become a Business Syrathoner: Get your workplace behind your running habit.  When signing up for Syrathon, check  "Business Syrathoner", and list the name of your workplace.  We will track all the Business Syrathoners who sign up for each business.  Each Syrathoner that signs up and completes a race  counts for each race.  The Corporate team with the most Syrathon completions at the end of the series wins the Corporate Syrathoner prize.
