2026 is a big year!

We're Celebrating 30 YEARS!

30 years already?! It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re just getting started. Over the past few years, we’ve set bold new goals and strengthened our connection with the Rochester community — from the City of Rochester to our amazing partners, with ActivePT proudly leading the way. Since 2022, we’ve grown nearly 50%, introduced a Boston-qualifying course, revamped the finish line experience, and elevated the Med City Marathon into a must-run Midwest event — all thanks to your support.

We’re going big for 2026 — and we can’t wait to welcome you back.
