Strawberry Festival 5k/8k run

The Annual Strawberry Festival 5k/8k race started by the late Mrs. Judy Christopher to inspire those in our community to run/walk to be healthy. Wolfpack Multisport continues to strive to bring a healthy positive change to our community. Won't you join us at the longest running race in Orleans County. Choose your distance, 5k or 8k, running through the Beautiful Village of Albion, and along the Historic Erie Canal.  Proceeds from the event benefit the Rotary Club of Albion.
