Falling Leaves Road Race

The Falling Leaves Road Race, held in downtown Utica, NY, 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 2-13. The 14K is recognized as a 2024 RRCA Eastern Region Championship event.

The courses start near the Utica State Office Building, with the 5K including light inclines and flat stretches, while the 14K offers a more demanding route through park areas and downhill finishes. Post-race festivities include an awards ceremony and party at the DoubleTree by Hilton Utica. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
