Recurring Half Marathon races near Buffalo-Cheektowaga, NY

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

EVL Halloween Half Marathon, 5k, Half Marathon Relay
SAT OCT 24
The EVL Halloween Half Marathon, 5K, and Half Marathon Relay begins and ends in Ellicottville, a village in western New York’s Southern Tier. These are road races with a Halloween theme, making the day a combination of running and a costume gathering. The half marathon and relay start first, followed shortly by the 5K, and the event also features a kids’ race. It started in 2014, with organizers designing it for runners of various abilities, not exclusively fast club racers. The course heads north from the village onto country roads before returning to Ellicottville for the finish. The EVL Half typically draws nearly 2,000 participants, a significant number for a small community. The field includes competitive age-group runners, relay teams, families, first-time participants, and individuals in Halloween costumes. Awards are presented to top male and female age-group finishers, and a costume contest is also featured. The post-race gathering at Ellicottville Brewing Company provides a local conclusion, rather than the event feeling like it merely uses the town as a setting.
Conwy Half Marathon
SUN NOV 15
The Conwy Half Marathon begins and ends on the quayside, directly in front of the historic Conwy Castle, which is over 700 years old. This road half marathon takes place in North Wales during November. A fun run is also part of the event, and the race has a maximum capacity of 4,000 participants. In recent years, over 3,000 runners have taken part, giving it the feel of a large-scale event rather than a small, local race. The course departs Conwy along the Conwy River, proceeding towards Deganwy and the West Shore in Llandudno. It then follows Church Walks towards Llandudno Pier. From the pier, the route encircles the Great Orme, offering expansive vistas of Anglesey, Puffin Island, and the North Wales coastline, before making its way back to Conwy. Readers of Runner's World recognized it as one of the top five half marathons in the UK for its scenery, and the course has a history of facilitating numerous personal bests.
The ThermoFisher Scientific Grand Island 1/2 Marathon
SAT MAY 1
The 32nd Annual Buffalo tradition offers a quality running experience and gives back to the community. The flat, out-and-back course runs along the Niagara River, mostly closed to traffic, with no time limit. First-time half marathoners receive a special medal and photo op. Every finisher of The ThermoFisher Scientific Grand Island 1/2 Marathon gets a commemorative race shirt and medal. A post-race party, free live tracking, and downloadable photos are included.

Buffalo-Cheektowaga Training Notes

Buffalo-Cheektowaga, NY hosts 4 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals put a lot of easy miles through Delaware Park, especially when the plan says Z2 and the legs say coffee after. Saturday Women's Run Club meets every Saturday at 9am at SPoT Coffee on Hertel Avenue, then runs 3 to 5 mile routes in Delaware Park. Middle Trail Running Company keeps that crew moving all year round and in all seasons. The Outer Harbor Greenway Trail gives about a mile of easy running. The Outer Harbor Trail runs four miles from Lighthouse Point Park to the Union Ship Canal. Buffalo Marathon Weekend, AIA Queen City Architecture 5K, Run 716, and Mind Over Miles - 24 Hour Challenge are the anchor race names locals know.

Locals ride the Shoreline Trail when they want flat base miles with Niagara River and Lake Erie views. The Erie Canalway Trail runs 279 miles from Buffalo to Albany, so it always feels like there is more road ahead. The Buffalo Bicycling Club hosts weekly training events around the Buffalo-Niagara region from March through September, and its calendar has road courses, time trials, crits, fondos, and group rides. The Outer Harbor bike park covers pump track, skills loop, and tot track work. Gravel riders use Transit to Galleria Mall, SW of Cheek, Old rail line, and Stig park. The climbs are limited, but Ellicott Creek Trailway has elevation changes.

March through September feels like the clean training block for cyclists because The Buffalo Bicycling Club is active every week. Summer puts races on the calendar, with Buffalo Subaru 4 Mile Chase in July and Run 716 in August. Locals keep running through the cold because Saturday Women's Run Club runs all year round and in all seasons. Winter shifts the vibe more than the map, so Delaware Park stays useful for steady miles while dirt, gravel, grass, mud, and rocks near the RR tracks become a different kind of bike choice. Bigger tires make more sense when the west-side mix gets sloppy.
