The AIA Queen City Architecture 5K Race

Returns September 9th, 2023

Do you like to run or walk? Do you like to learn about architecture?

Join us in downtown Buffalo, NY on Saturday September 9th for a brain and body work out. The first 150 people to register will receive a T-shirt. The sizes are limited so please register early to guarantee you get the size you desire. First come, first serve,

Prizes will be awarded to top three participants based on age and gender. Winners will have major bragging rights. Their names will be displayed on the AIA WNY website. See past winners below.

This year we will have signs throughout the racecourse that give runners and walkers fun facts about the buildings they are passing. We also have an audio companion for walkers to hear more about each of the buildings.
