Ironman 70.3 New York

Held in conjunction with the Taste of Syracuse, Paige's Butterfly Run brings runners and walkers from across Central New York to downtown Syracuse each year to participate in one of the region’s premier 5K races. Our goal is to put on a stellar community event while raising the critical dollars necessary to fund local childhood cancer research and patient programs at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital.

This year, Paige's Butterfly Run will be celebrating its 30th event on Saturday, June 6, 2026 in downtown Syracuse. This family friendly event includes:

• 5K USATF certified race

• 3K fitness run/walk

• 5K Centipede Team Division

• Caterpillar crawl for kids under 5 years old

Your participation in Paige's Butterfly Run helps to support children and families fighting childhood cancer in Central New York. Proceeds from the event benefit the Dr. William J. Waters Center for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, Syracuse, New York.

Join us for a self-timed, family-friendly 5K Walk/Run at Tap Root Fields — a community event at one of the area's most beautiful properties, tucked off Jordan Road. Kick off summer with your family the day before the season officially begins.

This is a fun run focused on families being outdoors, overcoming a challenge together, and experiencing everything Tap Root Fields has to offer. The course is self-timed and open to all ages and ability levels. Walk with the kids, jog with a friend, or run your own pace — however you move, you're doing it right.

We believe Tap Root Fields is one of the area's best-kept secrets. The trails, the scenery, the wide-open space — it's a local gem, and this event is your invitation to come see it for yourself.

The Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon is located approximately 2 miles off Route 5 near West Hill Golf Course at the Intersection of Ike Dixon Road between Sand Road and Gillie Brook Road. The swim is 1/2 mile (2 loops) in a natural, spring fed Gillie Lake, a relatively flat 15 mile bike course and a spectator friendly 5k run to round out the course. This is a great event for all women - first time racers, seasoned triathletes and relay teams. Come join the 13th Annual Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon, it's a spectator friendly course, and family atmosphere.

The 2024 edition will include the sprint triathlon (individual and relay) and Aquabike (swim, bike). This race category is popular with those not ready to run the 5k stance for whatever reason. Racers will swim and ride the same courses as those in the triathlon, but when you are done biking, you are finished with the race. We welcome you to the race infield to enjoy food and drink and cheer on your friends and/or family still on the racecourse!
