On race day, packet pick-up opens early Saturday morning starting at 6:30 AM. The event kicks off with a pre-race instruction and national anthem signing beginning promptly at 7:25 AM followed by mass starts for both the 10K (at 7:30 AM) and the 5K races. Awards ceremonies will take place shortly after completion of each race, celebrating all participants' achievements.

About Buffalo
Learn more about the host city, Buffalo.
The largest city in New York State's Niagara Frontier, Buffalo is a city full of surprises. Though Buffalo is sometimes the butt of jokes about chicken wings, its long-suffering sports teams, and the mountains of snow under which it is supposedly buried each winter, those in the know tell a different story: one of vibrant nightlife, world-class museums and cultural attractions, tight-knit neighborhoods with strong community spirit – and the sunniest summers in Northeastern United States.
