Crosswinds Run Series
The event takes place in Canandaigua, New York. It is a late-summer tradition that has been running for over 23 years. The series offers three race options.
- 5K Run/Walk: This is a USA Track & Field-certified course. The route features a downhill first mile through Canandaigua, followed by a climb up West Lake Road, and finishes on the rolling hills of Ferris Hills.
- 10K Run: This is also a USATF-certified course, introduced last year. It builds on the hilly tradition of the 5K with a longer route. The course has a 90-minute time limit.
- Kids Fun Run: This is a half-mile course that takes place entirely on the event campus. It is for children from preschool through 5th grade. Each participant receives a race t-shirt, a finisher's medal, and access to a post-race snack table.
All proceeds from the event benefit The Spot, a local organization that provides free school supplies, clothing, food, and shoes to students in need in the Canandaigua and Victor school districts. The 2025 event raised $13,400 for this cause. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
