Syracuse WorkForce Run

Lace up your running shoes and gather your colleagues for the annual Syracuse WorkForce Run, a premier 5K event focused on fitness, teamwork, and fun, taking place on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. This long-standing tradition, now in its 37th year, invites companies and individuals to experience a flat and fast 3.1-mile out-and-back course along the scenic Onondaga Lake Parkway in Liverpool, NY. Known for its picturesque route, the course offers a smooth and enjoyable run, with a "nice flat straight stretch to the finish" that is perfect for all abilities, including walkers who are welcome to join from the back of the corral.

Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 75F and lows near 55F, and a modest 17% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. A single water stop will be conveniently located on the course, which runners will pass twice between miles one and two, ensuring hydration along the route. Beyond the race itself, the Syracuse WorkForce Run fosters camaraderie and team building, offering companies optional hospitality packages for pre- and post-race celebrations.

The event not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but also supports a great cause, with proceeds benefiting the Ronald McDonald House of Central New York. Free parking and complimentary shuttle services are available from Destiny USA's Pink Lots, transporting participants directly to Onondaga Lake Park, ensuring a smooth start to an evening of spirited competition and community engagement.
