Mr. Ed's Superbowl Warm Up

Gear up for a fantastic start to your Super Bowl Sunday festivities at Mr. Ed's Superbowl Warm Up, returning for its 37th annual edition on Sunday, February 8, 2026, in picturesque Middleport, NY. This beloved community event offers distances for every runner, including a certified 5K race, a lively 1-mile fun run, and an untimed 5K walk. The 5K course provides a varied experience, beginning at the corner of Mill Street and N. Hartland St. and taking participants through a mix of inclines and descents, including a notable stretch along Townline Road and a scenic canalside path, before finishing back near 6 Mill Street. Typical race day conditions in early February often see temperatures ranging from a high of 33°F to a low of 16°F, with a modest 12% chance of precipitation, creating a crisp winter running environment.

Mr. Ed's Superbowl Warm Up is more than just a race; it's a cherished tradition known for its "renowned post-race party" – a highlight that promises a festive atmosphere to celebrate your achievement. Participants in the 5K can compete for awards across overall, masters, grandmasters, and age group categories, with a special Fireman's 5K Relay adding a unique competitive twist for teams. The first 300 registered runners are also treated to a "collector's item" long-sleeved T-shirt, making for a memorable keepsake. All proceeds from the event benefit the Middleport Volunteer Fire Company's scholarship fund, supporting local students and contributing significantly to the community. Join fellow runners at the Middleport Fire Hall for packet pickup and an unforgettable start to your Super Bowl weekend.
