Be sure to mark Sunday, September 26, 2010 into your calendar.  That is the date of this year's Parks Run.  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.
