Le Moyne College Dolphin Dash 2026

The Le Moyne College Dolphin Dash is a campus 5K run/walk and one-mile walk in Syracuse, New York, with the live start and finish at the Niland Athletics Complex and Dwyer Center for Health and Wellness on Salt Springs Road. The 5K is a timed 3.1-mile event, while the one-mile walk is untimed, making the day open to runners, walkers, students, alumni, and local supporters. It is held in late September, with a virtual 5K option available for people who want to participate on their own schedule. The event supports student scholarships at Le Moyne College, so the race is tied directly to the school rather than being just another community 5K. People can register as individuals or teams, and the pricing keeps the short walk especially accessible. Students, active duty and retired military, and members of several regional running clubs get a registration discount, including Checkers AC, Genesee Valley Harriers, Lake Effect Run Club, Syracuse Chargers Track Club, and Finger Lakes Runners Club. Registration is online only through race time, with no paper applications or race-day payment by cash or card.
