About the race
Run Our River is a six-race summer series of 5K races held along the River Path in Rochester, New York. Races take place on the second Tuesday of each month from April through September. The course uses the same start and finish location behind Rabbit Hole Tavern at 284 Exchange Blvd and is USATF certified.
Races are officially timed with live results and a series leaderboard. Each race offers small give-aways and the chance to win race prizes; completing at least four of the six races is required to be eligible for overall series awards, including age-group and series prizes. Participants are asked to keep their race bib for every race so results and series standings can be tracked.
The River Path is a public path shared with walkers, cyclists, and other users; participants should be aware of their surroundings and headphones are discouraged. Packet pickup is available the Monday prior to race day at Rochester Running Company (12:00–18:00) and on race day at the store (midday pickup with a hard cut off at 16:00) plus an additional pickup window at the course. Parking options include the Exchange Street Bar and Grill lot, street parking in the Corn Hill area, and nearby lots; participants are asked not to park in the Corn Hill Landing Plaza.
An additional trail series called Run Our Trails is organized by the same group and runs on the last Tuesday of each month. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
