Erie Canal Races
The Erie Canal Races take place on Sunday, May 16, 2027, and are staged at Whitesboro High School in Marcy, NY. The event program includes multiple distances that use the Erie Canal Trail and the Whitesboro High School track for start and finish.
The event offers these distances:
- 10 Miles
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- Two-person 10 Mile Relay (5 miles per runner)
Runners begin on the Whitesboro High School track, run a partial lap, then move onto the footpath to Paul Becker Road and cross the pedestrian bridge over Route 49 onto the Canal Trail. The 10 Mile and 5K courses are out-and-back on the Erie Canal Trail. The 10 Mile turnaround is just before the Harbor Point Lock; the relay hand-off occurs at the 5-mile mark. The 5K follows the same route with a marked halfway point to guide runners back to the track.
The course is restricted to registered runners and official race personnel. Walkers, dogs, skateboards, in-line skates, roller skates, bicycles, and baby joggers or strollers are prohibited. The use of headphones is strongly discouraged. Race registration details are to be announced. Packet pickup is scheduled in the days before the race at the Boilermaker Corporate Office and on race day near the start/finish area.
All registrations include a T-shirt, a commemorative medal, water stations and on-course support, and snacks after the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
