Tibbetts Point Run

Lace up for an unforgettable experience at the Tibbetts Point Run on Saturday, August 1, 2026, in the charming village of Cape Vincent, NY. This beloved community event offers exhilarating 5K and 10K distances, inviting runners to embrace one of Upstate New York's most scenic courses. The fast and flat "out-and-back" route begins right in the heart of the village, guiding participants along the mighty St. Lawrence Seaway with continuous breathtaking views of the river.
