STROLLERS
Following the RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) guidelines, we do not permit strollers in any of our races as they increase the potential for injury to race participants and children. Due to the easy congestion of our trail system and the amount of people that participate in our Rochester event, strollers pose too high of a risk for injury.
We are now including a corporate and community team 5K race challenge on Saturday evening! We invite you to put a team together and promote your business, organization, and community teams, in the spirit of health and community wellness. Click below for more info and Team Registration!
HOW IT WORKS
Teams are made up of AT LEAST 5 runners ( If you have 12 or more runners, we recommend hosting 2 separate teams).
Teams will all start and race together in the Altra Federal Credit Union 5K. All runners on the team will be chip timed from start to finish. We will take the time of the 5 fastest finishers on your team and add this together. The team with the fastest time will win a traveling trophy (along with individual medals). This timing set up means you do not have to worry about being the fastest person. This event is for anyone and everyone, and the more the merrier! We aim to work on team building and employee health and wellness.
