Buffalo Marathon weekend is almost here and weâre teaming up with Brooks Running for an exciting Cheer Zone during the @buffalomarathon !
Join us at 278 Delaware Ave starting at 6:15 AM as we cheer on runners all morning long. The best part? Runners will pass by our Cheer Zone twice(some 3 times), so there are plenty of chances to bring the energy and help push them to the finish line strong.
Weâll have a DJ, light snacks, music, and nonstop encouragement for every runner out on the course. Feel free to stop by whenever, hang out for a bit, cheer loud, and be part of an amazing morning in Buffalo.
Whether youâre racing, spectating, or just love the Buffalo running community, come make some noise with us!
We are running it back for a second year in a row, Buffalo Pro Soccer is once again proud to sponsor the 2026 Buffalo Marathonâs three-mile Plogging Run & Walk, set for Saturday, May 23 at 11:30 am.
The marathon weekend event provides the chance to get some exercise and make Buffalo a cleaner placeâtwo activities we can get behind.

We wrapped up our final Buffalo Long Run Series run this weekend and it was an incredible way to close it out.
Thank you to @thebansheeirishpub for opening early and hosting us, creating the perfect start and finish point for such an important training run. Weâre grateful to @buffalo_rehab for showing up in a big way with pre-run warm-ups, taping runners, and providing recovery support after the miles were done.
A big thank you to @brooksrunning and @newbalance for helping keep runners fueled and hydrated, including providing @never.second nutrition along the course. We also appreciate @reimerhomeservices for coming out and supporting the event.
Most importantly, thank you to every runner who showed up, put in the work, and supported one another along the way. This series has been all about community, consistency, and building toward race day together, and you all made it what it was.
Weâre excited to carry this momentum into the @buffalomarathon and Half Marathon and weâll see you again at our Shakeout Run on May 21 at 6:30 PM as we kick off race weekend together. đ
