The Buffalo Shakeout
The Buffalo Shakeout is a community 5-mile run that serves as a kickoff for Buffalo Marathon Weekend. The event is organized in collaboration with Runner’s Roost and New Balance and is offered at no cost to participants. It welcomes runners and walkers of all paces.
The run takes place at Wilkeson Pointe, a waterfront location in Buffalo. The course provides scenic views along the water and is intended as a social shakeout run the evening before marathon weekend activities. After the run, there is a post run hangout at Perro & Poni Eatery near the start area where participants can gather.
Event extras include limited edition event T-shirts for the first 100 registered participants who attend, with sizes available while supplies last. In addition, 50 New Balance backpacks featuring the 25th Anniversary Buffalo Marathon logo will be randomly awarded to participants who register and attend. Registration carries no fee and is open to the public. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
