Michelle's Memorial 5K
Michelle's Memorial 5K is an annual fall event in Middleport, New York, organized by Michelle's Memorial, Inc., a charitable 501(c)(3) with a stated mission to empower education, promote wellness and address community needs.
The event offers two formats: an in-person 5K at Middleport Fire Hall, 28 Main Street, Middleport, NY 14105 on November 21, 2026, and a virtual 5K held during November. Both formats list a distance of 3.1 Miles. Registration opens August 19, 2026 and closes October 31, 2026, with a registration fee of $20 for each option.
The race was established in 2012 and grew from earlier community efforts connected to a scholarship formed in 2006. The organization reports that over a 20-year span its scholar-athlete award has supported students at Royalton-Hartland High School and in the local sports league with more than $52,000 in awards. A separate S.T.E.M. award has been given to five students, totaling $5,000.
The event description emphasizes community support and education funding through the nonprofit. The in-person location and the virtual option provide alternative ways for participants to complete the 3.1-mile distance while contributing to the event's scholarship and award programs.
