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.
We're teaming up with the Homer Police Department for National Night Out 2026 to bring a fun Glow Run to you! Even though it won't be pitch black, we'll be near dusk and encourage glow sticks to make the run extra fun!

This 5K race is in remembrance of Daniel Myslivecek, who lost his battle with Melanoma at the age of 16. A friend of Daniel's organized the first 5K in 2005 to help the family with medical costs. Daniel ran in that first race and died 4 months later from his illness. The 5K has continued with the support of our community and each year the proceeds are given to a family or organization that helps children with a life-threatening illness while heightening Melanoma awareness.
