Burn Run Canastota

Burn Run Canastota is held in East Syracuse, in Onondaga County, New York, on October 31, 2026. The 10K and the 5K both start at 9:00 a.m., and a 1-mile Kid's Run goes off earlier at 8:30 a.m., so the schedule covers every age and fitness level. The course runs through Franklin Park with local spectators out along the way, and a buffet and refreshments wait for you afterward.

With two adult distances on the same morning, the choice comes down to your recent mileage: the 5K suits anyone running a few times a week, while the 10K is more rewarding if you have been logging 15 miles or more. Either way, the flat park setting favors even pacing. Bring a warm layer for after the finish, because late October in central New York cools quickly once you stop moving.
