The Tom Donnelly Hall of Fame 5k

The Tom Donnelly Hall of Fame 5k is a Labor Day weekend tradition held in Buffalo, New York. The event takes place on a Friday evening at Elmwood Avenue and Bidwell Parkway. The race serves as a celebration to welcome the Western New York Running Hall of Fame Class of 2026, honoring a long-standing local ambassador of the sport.

Participants can choose from the following event categories:

The course is designed to be conducive to achieving personal records. In addition to the race, the evening includes a social gathering on the Parkway featuring music, food, and beverages. Registrants have the option to participate in two-person teams.
