North Island, Phoenix NY
Saturday, August 22nd, 2026
Join us for a historic 10K Road Race along the Oswego River starting in Phoenix NY. 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 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. The race will be professionally timed by Leone Timing.
Post race festivities and awards will be at Henley Park on the Oswego River. Runners can look forward to a pizza collaboration between sponsors Independent Pizza and Angry Pig BBQ, something sweet from Jennerations Bakery, and more!
Earlybird registration just $40 through April 14, 2026! Race fee will increase to $45 on April 15th, and $50 three weeks prior to the race.
Funds raised will go toward supporting the Schroeppel Historical Society. For information about sponsorship opportunities, please review our sponsor information page and contact Kim at kimmer26.2@gmail.com.
