Falling Leaves Road Race

The Falling Leaves Road Race, held in downtown Utica, New York, is a long-standing fall running event celebrating over 50 years. The race features a 5K, a scenic and challenging 14K with switchbacks and park roads, and a Kid's Kilometer Fun Run for ages 2 to 13. The 5K course includes light inclines and flat stretches, while the 14K offers a more demanding route with uphill sections and a fast downhill finish.

The event starts at the Utica State Office Building and concludes with a post-race party and awards ceremony at the DoubleTree by Hilton Utica. Awards are given for overall and age group winners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
