About this race

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TIME OF THE START OF THE RACE CHANGED FROM THE ORIGINAL OPENING ON THIS RACE. THE START TIME OF THIS RACE IS NOW 3:00 PM.

We'll be bringing back this this spooky 5K to the Rochester area. The Rochester Boos & Brews 5K will be heading to Mendon, NY for 2026. The 5K will take place on the Lehigh Valley Trail.

Costumes are not required but highly recommended. We will have a costume contest to go along with the Overall Winners and Age Group Winners! This is truly an event where fun and run collide to make ONE!

This event will be a proud partner with David's Refuge (Rochester) as they raise funds to provide respite, resources and support to parents and guardians of children with special needs or life threatening medical conditions where they will be refreshed, restored and renewed in their role as caregivers.

Post race party to enjoy the "Brew" at the Cottage Hotel Restaurant.
