2026 Upstate Orthopedics Mountain Goat Run
The 48th annual Mountain Goat Run takes place in Syracuse, New York, with the main events centered around Clinton Square. This long-standing community tradition includes various distances and formats to accommodate different types of participants. The event features a primarily road-based course that navigates the local terrain, including several area parks.
Participants can choose from the following event categories:
- 10 Miles: The signature individual road race across the hills of Syracuse.
- Two Person Relay: A 10-mile team event where two runners share the distance.
- Hall of Fame Mile: A 1-mile timed running race.
- Kids Run: A timed event covering 880 yards (half a mile).
- Family Pet Walk: A non-timed walking event for families and pets.
- Virtual 10 Mile: A remote participation option where official swag is shipped to the runner.
The 10-mile race includes a time bonus ribbon system for specific performance benchmarks. Men finishing under 80, 70, or 60 minutes and women finishing under 90, 80, or 70 minutes receive these awards. The relay option includes bus transportation for participants to and from the exchange point.
A post-race party is held in Clinton Square following the events. This gathering includes refreshments and an awards presentation for the top three male and female runners. Registration and packet pick-up are conducted exclusively online, and all awards and premium items must be collected on-site during the event.
