Organiser's Description
Join us for the second running of this historic 10K Road Race along the Oswego River starting in Phoenix NY. Our first year couldn't have gone better and we are excited to make it even greater in 2027. Sign up early for the best price on the best 10K in Central New York.
This race had a huge following in the mid 80's through early 90's, and we'll stick with the original course. It's flat, fast, and beautiful as it runs along the Oswego River for the entire loop course. You'll start at North Island at Lock 1 and immediately cross the Oswego River on the Phoenix Bridge. You'll then run north on Pendergast Road, glimpsing the river between open fields, woods, and homes along the way. At the half way point you'll turn right to make a second crossing of at the single lane Hinmansville Bridge, which was built in 1915. A short jaunt through the woods on a packed dirt road will connect you to River Road to run back into the village of Phoenix and a finish at Lock 1. This is a great course for first-time 10K runners or fast 10K runners looking to post a PR. It would also be a great prep race for your fall half marathon or marathon.
