Winter Warrior Half, Quarter & Relay Marathon
The Winter Warrior event on January 9, 2027 takes place at Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY. The event offers in-person and virtual options across multiple distances and a four-person relay where each member runs one campus loop. The course uses repeated loops around the MCC campus and is slightly adjusted this year due to on-campus construction. Spectators can see runners on every loop.
Distances offered:
- Half Marathon - 13.1 miles, in person or virtual
- Quarter Marathon - about 6.55 miles, in person or virtual
- 4 Person Half Marathon Team - each member runs one loop (about 3.1 miles)
- Virtual entry with a date window for completing and submitting results
In-person entry benefits include a knit Winter Warrior hat for early registrants or a campfire ceramic mug for later registrants, a finisher medal, online results, optional apparel for purchase, post-race pizza, indoor restrooms and a warm-up area, and a digital finishers certificate. Virtual entries receive the knit hat, finisher medal, online results submission, and shipping within the continental US; virtual entries are not eligible for the mug. All events are capped.
Relay teams receive individual bibs plus one timing bib attached to a belt; that timing belt is passed between members and must be returned at the finish. Awards include overall top finishers, age group awards, and relay team awards. Entry acknowledges the organizers may change date, location, distance, or switch to virtual and that refunds, transfers, or deferrals are not permitted unless stated.
