    On April 24, 2021, William "Bill" Scott Jr., passed away suddenly. At the time of passing, Bill was the President of the Syracuse Teachers Association (STA) representing approximately 3,000 Syracuse City School District staff and 20,000 students. Prior to his presidency, Bill spent 10 years as a school social worker and 5 years as the 4th Vice President of STA. Throughout all the stages of his career, Bill worked tirelessly to advocate for his colleagues, students, and their families and he was a fierce advocate for all! In 2022, we hosted our inaugural Bill Scott Memorial 5K Walk/Run at Burnet Park, a place where Bill frequented for his own running. Through this race, monies have been raised to be put towards a scholarship for a Syracuse City School District senior who planned to major in Social Work or the Human Service Profession.

    We will continue honoring Bill's memory and legacy by hosting our 5th annual race on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 9 AM. This year our race will be held in a new, flatter location - Onondaga Lake Parkway. The money raised from this event will continue to go towards a scholarship for a senior pursing a degree in Psychology or Human Services. In addition to the Syracuse City School District, this years scholarship will be open to seniors from Jamesville-Dewitt, Hannibal, and Whitesboro, all districts that played important roles in the lives of Bill and his children.

    Prizes will be awarded to the top three overall female and male finishers.

    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!
