Oneida Lake Half Marathon, 10K & 5K

Get ready to experience the scenic beauty and flat, fast courses of the Oneida Lake Half Marathon, 10K & 5K, set to take place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in picturesque Bridgeport, NY. This event, organized by Willow Running, offers participants an exceptional opportunity to chase a personal record on an "extremely flat" road course that winds alongside the stunning south side of Oneida Lake, New York's largest inland lake. Runners will be treated to "many scenic views" throughout their 13.1-mile, 6.2-mile, or 3.1-mile journey.

The race welcomes runners of all levels with its accessible terrain and rewarding atmosphere. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at the Bridgeport Fire Department, where all finishers across all three distances will proudly receive a commemorative medal. Beyond the personal achievement, participation in the Oneida Lake Half Marathon, 10K & 5K supports a meaningful cause, as a portion of the proceeds benefits Cancer Connects, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting cancer patients in Central New York. Typical race day conditions in early October offer ideal running weather, with historical highs around 63°F and lows around 46°F, and only a 17% chance of precipitation, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable race experience.
