Event Overview
The Run Our River 5K Series consists of six individual 5K races held on the second Tuesday of each month from April through September. The race course follows a public river path and remains the same for the entire series, allowing participants to track their progress over the summer.
Event Details
The start and finish line is behind Rabbit Hole Tavern at 284 Exchange Blvd in Rochester, NY. The course is USATF certified. Parking is available at the Exchange Street Bar and Grill parking lot and on nearby streets (free after 5 p.m.), with bathrooms available at the Exchange Bar and Grill. Participants are reminded that the path is shared with other users.
Participants can register for individual races or for the entire series. Each race offers official timing, live results, and a series leaderboard. Completing at least four of the six races makes a participant eligible for overall series awards (age group and series prizes). A small giveaway, such as a nutrition item or running-related accessory, is provided at each race. For the series, the first 100 registrants receive a giveaway item, with options including a Run Our River hat, a Rochester Running winter hat, or a gift card.
Packet pickup is available the Monday prior to each race day and on race day itself at Rochester Running Company, as well as near the course before the event start. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
