The Experience

The Greater Binghamton Bridge Run is the largest premier running event in the Greater Binghamton area, drawing approximately 657 runners from 16 states in its recent edition, with about 35% returning each year. The USATF-certified half marathon course is mostly flat, with only 100 feet of elevation gain, making it a prime candidate for personal bests.

The route winds through downtown Binghamton, crossing four iconic bridges—Clinton, Court, Tompkins, and Washington—and passing under a fifth, the Memorial Bridge. Runners enjoy sweeping views of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers as they loop through the city's West and Southsides. The event also features a 5K, a kids run, and a Double Challenge, along with a post-race Victory Village offering food, music, and awards.
