The Canandaigua Mile is a 1-mile running race down Lakeshore Drive in Canandaigua, for elites, competitive runners, and hobby joggers alike! The flat course boasts beautiful views along the Canandaigua Lake shoreline, and will surely be the fastest mile in the Finger Lakes.

Higher Peaks Racing is proud to partner with the the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association, Canandaigua Business Improvement District, and Footprints Running camp to bring attention to our local businesses, raise awareness and research funding for water quality issues in Canandaigua Lake, and bring the community together.

Welcome to the Crosswinds Run Series! Join us in Canandaigua for a late-summer tradition that’s been bringing runners, walkers, families and the community together for over 23 years. Formerly known as the Crosswinds 5K, the Crosswinds Run Series now offers multiple race-day options designed for all ages and abilities; whether you’re chasing a PR, enjoying a scenic walk or supporting a great local cause.

5K Run/Walk

Our iconic, USA Track & Field-certified course is as fun as it is challenging, perfect for walkers, first-time racers and competitive runners alike. You’ll enjoy an exhilarating downhill first mile through the City of Canandaigua, followed by the well-known climb up West Lake Road, and finish strong on the rolling hills of Ferris Hills.

10K Run

Introduced to the series last year and back by popular demand, the 10K builds on the tradition of the 5K’s hills with a longer, more demanding route for seasoned runners looking for a rewarding challenge. This USATF-certified course has a 90-minute time limit, after which roads will reopen to traffic.

Kids Fun Run

A half-mile course entirely on the event campus, perfect for young runners (preschool through 5th grade). It’s a safe, energetic, and memorable way for kids to experience race day. Every child receives:

• Race t-shirt

• Finisher’s medal

• Access to a fun post-race snack table

More Than a Race

The Crosswinds Run Series is more than a finish line, it’s a movement with a mission. All proceeds benefit The Spot, a local organization providing free school supplies, clothing, food and shoes to students in need across the Canandaigua and Victor School districts. Thanks to runners, walkers, volunteers and business sponsors, last year’s event raised $13,400 for The Spot. With the continued growth of the Run Series, our goal is simple: make an even bigger impact in 2026.

Are You Ready to Commit?

Whether you’re here to tackle the hills, cheer from the sidelines, or support local kids in a meaningful way, the Crosswinds Run Series offers something for everyone.

Join us and be part of a tradition that truly gives back!

According to the Colon Cancer Coalition, colon cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the U.S. and the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths. Early detection can make all the difference!

Strollin' for the Colon is proud to hold Toni's Race for its 15th year. The event will be held again at Stewart Lodge in Mendon Ponds Park. As with past years there will be a USATF certified (NY23008KL) 5k race to be immediately followed by a 1-mile walk. Strollin' for the Colon is a non-profit organization with the mission to raise funds to support those who are fighting colorectal cancer. Proceeds from this event will go to patients and their families who have financial needs resulting from treatment, agencies that provide education about the importance of early screening for colon cancer, as well as offer seed funding for research to beat this disease.

Along with the race and walk there is a fun run and other activities for kids. There is fun, music, food and the opportunity to win great prizes! Also attending are physicians and vendors to provide information and answer any questions about colon cancer and any related topics.
