Phoenix River Rat 10K Run
The Phoenix River Rat is a 10 km road race held in Phoenix, New York on August 22, 2026. The course is a loop that runs along the Oswego River for its entire length. The route begins at North Island at Lock 1, crosses the Oswego River on the Phoenix Bridge, then heads north on Pendergast Road with views of the river between fields, woods, and homes. At the halfway point the route turns right to cross the single lane Hinmansville Bridge, built in 1915, then follows a short packed dirt road through woods to River Road and returns to the village of Phoenix, finishing at Lock 1.
Packet pick up is available the day before at Fleet Feet Sports in Clay, NY and on the morning of the race at North Island in Phoenix. The race will be professionally timed by Leone Timing. Post race awards and festivities take place at Henley Park on the Oswego River, with food contributions from Independent Pizza, Angry Pig BBQ, and Jennerations Bakery.
Earlybird registration is $40 through April 14, 2026. The fee increases to $45 on April 15 and to $50 three weeks prior to the race. Funds raised will support the Schroeppel Historical Society. Due to insurance regulations, dogs and strollers are not allowed on the race course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
