What is ROCtoberfest?
ROCtoberfest is a 5K and fundraising opportunity for local charities in October. It's the chance for participants to run a 5K & donate to local charities! And for charities to raise money for their organizations without the expense of producing an event. Grab your running shoes and lederhosen to celebrate with our ROCtoberfest 5K! Join us at Genesee Valley Park for a 5K run/walk that also will serve as a fundraising event for local charities. Let's celebrate Rochester and charities in it. Register today to join the ROCtoberfest fun!
