And all 3 offer the same fun, camaraderie and festive party after you finish! Note- the 5k and 1 mile are open to runners or walkers. However, the 10K has a 1 hour 15 minute cut off.

Either way, you’ll feel great knowing your entire registration fee will go directly to Rochester-area organizations providing food, hope and dignity for hungry people.
