Phoenix River Rat 10K Run
The Phoenix River Rat 10K is a road race held in Phoenix, NY, using the original loop course first run in the mid 1980s through the early 1990s. The loop follows the Oswego River for its entire length and is described by organizers as flat.
The course begins at North Island at Lock 1, crosses the Oswego River on the Phoenix Bridge, then heads north on Pendergast Road with river views between open fields, woods, and homes. At the midpoint runners turn right to cross the single-lane Hinmansville Bridge, built in 1915. A short stretch on a packed dirt road through woods connects to River Road for the return into the village of Phoenix and a finish at Lock 1.
Race timing will be provided by Falcon Timing. The event is USATF sanctioned. Post-race awards and festivities are scheduled at Henley Park on the Oswego River. Post-race food includes pizza contributions from Independent Pizza and Angry Pig BBQ and items from Jennerations Bakery.
Packet pick up is available Friday, August 21 at Fleet Feet Sports in Clay, NY, and the morning of the race at North Island in Phoenix, NY. Early registration pricing and later fee increases are indicated by organizers; T-shirt availability is not guaranteed after August 1, 2026. Funds raised will support the Schroeppel Historical Society. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
