Due to extreme cold temperatures expected on Saturday (wind chills close to -20 degrees) we are looking to reschedule the event to March 28th. We still need to confirm with the Village of Lewiston but we feel that this date will not interfere with any other local races and the weather should be MUCH nicer by then!
WE BILLIEVE!
Like most Western New Yorkers, we were hoping that this would be the year that our Buffalo Bills finally made it to the Super Bowl! With that in mind, we have partnered with the Brickyard Brewing Company to bring you an exciting 5k & 10K race in Historic Lewiston along with an amazing post race celebration! We are proud of our hometown team and we'll have a great time on Super Bowl weekend even though the Bills did not make it to the big game.
START/FINISHBoth race distances being offered will start at 11am in front of the Brickyard Pub & Restaurant. Our scenic and challenging 5K course takes runners through Lewiston's historic district and Artpark State Park (VIEW 5K COURSE MAP). If you are running the 10K you will enjoy an extra out and back stretch on the NYS Parks Bike Path up Lewiston hill to a turnaround location just past the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge before rejoining the 5K course and heading to the finish line (VIEW 10K COURSE MAP).
