Run Our River 5K

Run Our River 5K

Run Our River is a monthly 5K held on the second Tuesday of each month, with the same course used throughout the summer so participants can compare times across events. The route runs along a public river path; the organizer notes there will be other runners, walkers, and bikers on the path and advises awareness of surroundings and discourages headphones.

The event is officially timed and provides live results and a series leaderboard. Each race offers small giveaways such as a nutrition item or a running-related knick-knack, and finishing individual races enters the runner in the series standings. Participants must complete four of the six races to be eligible for overall series awards, including age group and series prizes.

Logistics include a USATF certified course with the start and finish located behind Rabbit Hole Tavern at 284 Exchange Blvd, Rochester, NY 14608. Packet pickup is handled through Rochester Running Company and at the course. Results are posted online after the race and a post race party is listed as optional and to be determined. Parking options noted include the Exchange Street Bar and Grill parking lot and surrounding Corn Hill area; participants are asked not to park in the Corn Hill Landing Plaza.

Fees are listed as $25 per race, $110 for the six-race series bundle, and $11 for participants under 18. The series bundle includes a giveaway item for the first 100 registrants and runners are asked to keep their bib for each race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
