Valley Nature Run -
About this race
A Road & Trail Run that is roughly 4.4 miles long. In the past, the course was 4 miles, in 2023 we decided to add the trails around the beautiful Webster Pond to give the runners a better idea where donations are being used. This was a huge hit making course 4.4 miles!
Presented by the Syracuse Track Club. We have partnered with the Webster Duck pond and proceeds from the race will help support the Webster Duck pond. Your support of this race, helps us support other great organizations in the Valley!
