Phoenix River Rat 10K Run
The Phoenix River Rat 10K Run takes place on August 22, 2026 in Phoenix, New York, with start and finish at Lock Island Park along the Oswego River. The event follows the original course used in the mid 1980s through the early 1990s.
The loop course runs parallel to the Oswego River for its entire length and is described as flat. Runners immediately cross the river on the Phoenix Bridge, proceed north on Pendergast Road with views of the river between open fields, woods, and homes, then turn to cross the river at the single lane Hinmansville Bridge built in 1915. A short section on a packed dirt road through woods connects to River Road for the return into the village and a finish at Lock 1.
Packet pick up is scheduled for the evening before the race on August 21 with the location to be determined, and on the morning of the race at Lock Island Park. Registration opens February 23, 2026. Earlybird registration is $40 through April 14, 2026; fees increase after that date.
Funds raised by the event will support the Schroeppel Historical Society. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
