The Race 
The Run Jimmy Run, a 5K road race and 1 mile walk through downtown Buffalo was established in 2013 in memory of former Mayor of Buffalo (1978-1994) Jim Griffin. This unique race course highlights some of the beautiful sites in our city and ends in our downtown baseball park with a family oriented post race lunch, party and ball game.
The purpose of this race is to celebrate the life and accomplishments and charitable spirit of Mayor Jim Griffin through a fitness oriented event designed for all ages.
All proceeds from the Run Jimmy Run go to the Alzheimer’s Association of WNY www.alz.org/wny and stay in Buffalo and Western New York. Here in WNY the Alzheimer’s Association is committed to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. The Run Jimmy Run is committed to provide funds to the ALZ of WNY for support of patient programs here in our community.
It is with your generous support and contribution this event is possible. We are proud to be working within our community to help those families affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
We would like to thank the great people of Buffalo and Western New York for your support and the generous contributions of our sponsors and partners who will help make this a premier downtown race and a great Buffalo tradition!
See you at the ballpark!
