THANK YOU to everyone that came out to run, cheer, and volunteer at the 2011 Parks Run.  We hope you enjoyed the event.  Congratulations to John & Brandi, two runners that got married after the race in the Onondaga Park gazebo.  It was a special day in many ways.  Can’t wait to see you next year.

The PARKS RUN is a 4 mile run/walk sponsored by the Greater Strathmore Neighborhood Association and supported by the Jim Dwyer, Jr. Memorial Fund.  Scenic course begins in Onondaga Park, goes through some of Syracuse's historic Strathmore neighborhood, around the Woodland Reservoir and up the watertower hill (with panoramic views of the city skyline), and finishes back in Onondaga Park. The course has some challenging hills (but not too tough) and some off-road cross-country elements.  The course is USATF certified. 

PARKS RUN is part of the SYRATHON Race Series, supported by the Syracuse Parks Department, Fleet Feet, Syrcuse New Times, and Saucony.  Prizes will be awarded at each Syrathon race and a Grand Prize drawing for a LCD Flat Screen Television will be held at the series end (just register at the Syrathon table at each race).  Click here for more details.
