Super Couch Potato 5K

Lace up your sneakers and shed that "couch potato" title at the 16th Annual Super Couch Potato 5K, set to kick off on Sunday, February 8, 2026, in Syracuse, NY. This popular event offers a fantastic opportunity to pre-game the "Big Game" with fellow football fanatics, promising a lively atmosphere on the East Shore Recreation Trail at Onondaga Lake Park. Known as the "flattest course in town," runners can look forward to a swift and scenic 5K, ideal for chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a refreshing winter run along the picturesque Onondaga Lake.

Participants are encouraged to don their favorite football team's gear, adding to the festive spirit of this celebrated annual race. While typical race day conditions in early February can see highs around 32F and lows near 16F, with a 10% chance of precipitation, the excitement of the event and the flat course keep spirits high. The race isn't just about the run; it's a full experience, featuring generous raffle prizes for all finishers and a welcoming post-race gathering at The Cobblestone Ale House, where homemade soup and other refreshments await. Secure your spot among the approximately 500 runners, as custom Super Couch Potato giveaways are available for the first registrants, making this 5K a truly unique and rewarding winter running tradition.
