Paige's Butterfly Run

Held in conjunction with the Taste of Syracuse, Paige's Butterfly Run brings runners and walkers from across Central New York to downtown Syracuse each year to participate in one of the region’s premier 5K races. Our goal is to put on a stellar community event while raising the critical dollars necessary to fund local childhood cancer research and patient programs at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital.

This year, Paige's Butterfly Run will be celebrating its 30th event on Saturday, June 6, 2026 in downtown Syracuse. This family friendly event includes:

Proceeds from the event benefit the Dr. William J. Waters Center for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, Syracuse, New York.
