Montezuma Festival of Races

Sunday-June 2, 2024 (Run events)

Saturday-June 1, 2024 (Island 25/15 Bike event) Please visit Island 25/15 race website if you are interested in registering or learning more.

Nestled in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, the tiny town of Savannah — home to a population of just over 1,700 year-round residents — is set to play host to the Montezuma Festival of Races. This series of races will take 5K, 10K and half marathon runners along country roads in low population density areas full of scenic views of rural Central New York. The Half Marathon course was changed in 2023. It will be the same for 2024.  It will be on mostly paved roads with a couple miles on packed dirt trails that will have you running on the outskirts of  Howland Island.

The race will benefit the important work and efforts of the Friends of Montezuma and the the Savannah Fire Department.
