Phoenix River Rat 10K Run
The Phoenix River Rat 10K is a road race in Phoenix, New York that follows a loop course along the Oswego River. The course starts and finishes at North Island at Lock 1 and makes a full circuit that stays alongside the river for the entire route. Runners cross the Oswego River on the Phoenix Bridge early in the course, continue north on Pendergast Road with river views between fields, woods, and homes, then turn to cross 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 the finish at Lock 1.
The course is described as flat and fast. Organizers note the profile may suit first time 10K participants and runners aiming for a personal record. The race will be professionally timed by Falcon Timing. Post race awards and festivities take place at Henley Park on the Oswego River. Raffle tickets will be available for gift baskets containing donated goods from local businesses and artisans, with funds directed to the Schroeppel Historical Society.
Dogs and strollers are not allowed on the race course. The event is USATF sanctioned. Additional race logistics and packet pick up information are communicated to participants in advance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
