Fleet Feet Sports, Saucony and C&S Companies once again join the City of Syracuse Department of Parks and Recreation to bring together the following established road races, based in the City of Syracuse, into the unique Syrathon Race series. The Syrathon Race Series is a seven-race foot tour that showcases Syracuse's terrific parks system, including true gems embedded in a host of vibrant, diverse city neighborhoods. Whether you are just beginning, or are a seasoned runner, the series is designed to encourage healthy physical activity year-round, while promoting the sights and sounds of Syracuse!

Syrathon is made possible by the support of its sponsors, and, of course, because of the tremendous efforts of the individual race committees. Each of the Series races are well-established because of the hard work and creative, thoughtful planning of each individual race committee. Each race has its own flavor, and the dedication of all race volunteers brings great benefit to respective city neighborhoods and to so many charitable causes.

IF YOU REGISTER BEFORE 4/3, YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR SHIRT AT THE MOUNTAIN GOAT RACE EXPO AT THE FLEET FEET SPORTS DEWITT LOCATION. IF YOU REGISTER AFTER 4/3, YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR SHIRT ON OUR NEXT ORDER AND WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL WHEN THE ORDER IS IN. THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP FOR THE 2017 SYRATHON RACE SERIES IS MAY 6. ALL SYRATHON SHIRTS CAN BE PICKED UP AT FLEET FEET SPORTS DEWITT LOCATION.

Become a Syrathoner: Run your own personal marathon by accumulating 26.2 miles over the course of the series. Select enough races to meet your goal, all while benefiting local neighborhood associations and great charitable causes.

Become an UltraSyrathoner: Run all seven of the races in the series and log extra miles at the Creekwalk/Strathmore fun runs for a total of 35 miles to claim the UltraSyrathon title. ***Please note to reach the UltraSyrathon status, additional miles, outside of the seven Syrathon races, must be completed at the Creekwalk/Strathmore Mile fun runs.
