Distances vary by race, ranging from 2K to 8K. Races take place at parks and schools across Western New York, including locations in Buffalo, Fairport, Syracuse, Rochester, and Ithaca. The series welcomes both experienced and beginning cross country runners competing in open and masters divisions. Overall winners receive $100 Wegman's gift cards, age group winners in 10-year increments earn $50 gift cards, and top 10 finishers in each age group receive custom PGXC Nalgene bottles.
