The Copper Wire Run takes place on an October morning on Main Street in Camden, New York, featuring a timed 5K and a 1 Mile Fun Run. The Fun Run begins before the 5K, and the main race employs RFID chip timing managed by Auyer Race Timing & Event Management.
International Wire Group revived the race in Camden via the nonprofit IWG Copper Wire Run. The event benefits community wellness and provides industry peers an opportunity to connect outside of work. The 5K offers overall and age-group awards, with course records of 15:17 for men and 19:15 for women. Each 5K participant receives a race shirt, a commemorative pint glass, and a post-race snack.
