Race Director, Rich Clark told us “OnePlan took a weekend of events with documents galore and combined it into one digital map that all members of the team can collaborate on.”
Friday is an exciting street party for the entire community but a highlight for the VIPs! Including a 0.0K party featuring one of their local bands and finishes the night off with a huge fireworks display by Skylighters of New York.
Saturday starts the morning off with the Buffalo Marathon 5k run to be followed by our Buffalo Marathon 5k walk. There is then a mini-marathon free for kids ages 8 and under, three different distances depending on their age. After the mini-marathon has completed there’s 26.2 foot Diaper Dash for children 2 and under!
This year they have added a plogging event for both runners and walkers where athletes will pick up garbage on the surrounding streets of the race site. Sunday is then the big events, the full and half marathon and the relay. What a fun packed weekend!
The best part of the Buffalo Marathon Weekend is the giving back to the community, they strive to have a positive impact on the local and surrounding communities in Western New York by giving back. In the first 23 years over $1,800,000 has been given to more than 50 local not for profit organisations.
