Strawberry Festival 5k/8k run
The annual Strawberry Festival 5k/8k race takes place in Albion, NY, on State Street by the Court House Step and along the historic Erie Canal. The event is organized by Wolfpack Multisport and features measured, USATF-certified courses for 2026.
Distances offered include:
- 5 km course (USATF-certified)
- 8 km course (USATF-certified)
Registration fees for 2026 are listed as $25 for the 5k and $30 for the 8k. There are separate no-fee registration categories for participants over 70 years of age. Proceeds from the event benefit the Rotary Club of Albion.
Event logistics noted by organizers include on-site packet pickup near the start and finish on State Street. Only State Street is closed for the start/finish area and festival preparations; participants should obey posted parking signs as local roads will be managed for the event. Water stops are provided on course; sports drinks and electrolyte beverages are not supplied. There is no course cutoff and participants in the 8k are not rerouted to the 5k for being at the back of the field. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
