Willow Bay 5k Run & Fitness Walk for Women
The Willow Bay 5k Run & Fitness Walk for Women is a women-only sporting event held in Liverpool, New York. This event was established in 1993 as part of the Women's Distance Festival Series. The competition takes place at Onondaga Lake Park and features a course along the East Shore.
Participants can choose from the following event formats:
- 5k In-Person Run & Walk
- 3.1 Miles Virtual Run & Fitness Walk
The in-person 5k course is a flat, certified out-and-back route (NY83004TC) on a paved surface. The path is closed to vehicle traffic for the duration of the event. The race begins at Willow Bay, proceeds toward a turnaround point near the Yacht Club, and returns to finish at the Willow Bay area. Access to the start line is provided via the park entrance on Long Branch Road.
All participants receive a souvenir shirt while supplies last. The event includes an awards ceremony with prizes for the top three overall finishers and winners in five-year age groups. Recognition is also provided for family teams and participants in specific event challenges. Random prize drawings are conducted following the completion of the physical race.
