The race starts outside the Blue Cross Arena and ventures towards the University of Rochester campus. This out-and-back course is flat, fast, and fun for the whole family. Prizes will be awarded to the top overall winners, the top masters, and the top winners in each age group.
The Free Kids 1/2-mile Fun Run starts at 8:30 am in an out-and-back route from the start line. Sign up to get a special kids' Feast Bib.
The 5-mile race starts promptly at 9:00 am.
The 2-mile begins very shortly afterward (9:05 am).
