A Road & Trail Run that is roughly 4.4 miles long. In the past, the course was 4 miles, in 2023 we decided to add the trails around the beautiful Webster Pond to give the runners a better idea where donations are being used. This was a huge hit making course 4.4 miles!

Presented by the Syracuse Track Club. We have partnered with the Webster Duck pond and proceeds from the race will help support the Webster Duck pond. Your support of this race, helps us support other great organizations in the Valley!

New this year: Are you a middle or high school runner and looking for a check of your summer training? Age based pricing for anyone 10 to 18 years old, only $15 for the race! 

COURSE: The Run will start & finish at Meachem Field located on W. Seneca Tpke. Syracuse, NY. You will head south on Salina, right onto Dorwin, right onto Valley Drive, and then enter the trails of Rand Tract at the Methodist Church, coming out of the trail onto Chaffee which you will take all the way back to Clary Middle School and Meachem Field.  We now include a loop along Webster pond as well.
