We are looking for a Pace Team Captain!

As we grow we realize the need for some additional upgrades for race weekend based on feedback from you, our athletes.

We are looking for someone to lead our pacing team for 2026 and beyond. You will be the point of contact for all of the pacers and help us recruit and coordinate the pace team. You will NOT be alone as we have a seasoned pace captain ready to help and mentor this person.

If you are interested in this amazing opportunity please reach out to [email protected] and please put pace captain in the subject line.

We look forward to an amazing event weekend!

🏅 HAPPY MEDAL MONDAY! 🏅

Take a close look, because this isn’t just a piece of metal. This is your early mornings, your commitment, your community, and the exact moment you cross that finish line at the Empower FCU Amphitheater at Lakeview.

Whether you’re stepping up to the line for your very first 5K or 10K on Saturday, tackling the Half or Full Marathon on Sunday, or crushing the ultimate Excelsior Challenge to take home three pieces of bling—this finish line belongs to you.

We loop Onondaga Lake together. We push through the miles together. And when you cross that finish line, the entire Wolfpack community will be there to cheer you home. No matter your pace, your distance, or your background, you have a place in this pack. Every runner, every goal, every finisher.

The medals are officially ready for their forever homes. Are you ready to claim yours?

👇 Tag your training partners, choose your challenge, and let’s make history this October.
