Phoenix River Rat 10K Run
The Phoenix River Rat is a 10K road race held in Phoenix, New York, that follows the original loop course along the Oswego River. The course begins at North Island at Lock 1, crosses the Phoenix Bridge, runs north on Pendergast Road with river views between fields, woods, and homes, then crosses the single lane Hinmansville Bridge built in 1915. A short section on a packed dirt road through the woods connects to River Road for the return into the village and the finish at Lock 1.
The race is described as flat and fast and is timed professionally by Leone Timing. Post race awards and festivities take place at Henley Park on the Oswego River. Food at the post race gathering includes pizza from Independent Pizza and Angry Pig BBQ and items from Jennerations Bakery.
Packet pick up is offered the day before at Fleet Feet Sports in Clay, NY, and the morning of the race at North Island in Phoenix. Earlybird registration is $40 through April 14, 2026; fees increase after that date. Dogs and strollers are not allowed on the race course. The event is USATF sanctioned.
