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 OR ANYTIME AFTER THAT AT THE FLEET FEET SPORTS DEWITT STORE. 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. ALL SYRATHON SHIRTS CAN BE PICKED UP AT FLEET FEET SPORTS DEWITT LOCATION.
