If you’re looking for a fun, free running event in Orchard Park, we’ve got the perfect way to kick off your weekend. Join us for the Free Pancake Prediction Run, a unique 5-mile group run hosted by Runner’s Roost that blends friendly competition, community vibes, and breakfast at the finish line.
What Is the Pancake Prediction Run?
The Pancake Prediction Run is not about who runs the fastest. Instead, it’s about who can predict their finish time most accurately. Before the run begins, each participant will write down their predicted 5-mile finish time. Once you start, no watches, GPS devices, or timing apps are allowed, making this a true test of pacing and self-awareness.
To keep things fair and exciting, the 5-mile route will be emailed to participants the morning of the event. The male and female runners who finish closest to their predicted times will win an exciting prize, courtesy of New Balance.
Try the Latest New Balance Running Shoes
New Balance will be on site with demo shoes available to try during the run, including the brand-new New Balance 1080 V15. This is a great opportunity to test the shoes in real-world conditions, on real miles, alongside other local runners. Whether you’re curious about upgrading your daily trainer or just love trying new gear, this is a low-pressure, fun way to do it.
Free, Fun, and Open to All Paces
One of the best parts of the Pancake Prediction Run is that it’s completely FREE and open to runners of all levels. Whether you’re training for a race, building base mileage, or simply looking for a social group run in Orchard Park, you’re welcome here. Walkers and runners alike are encouraged to join, making it a true community event.
Pancakes at the Finish Line
After the run, stick around to refuel with free pancakes and spend time chatting with fellow runners. It’s the perfect chance to meet new people, talk shoes and training, and enjoy a relaxed post-run hangout at Runner’s Roost.
