The 2016 Teacher's Challenge 5K

• 5K Run/Walk:- Run 3.1 Miles

What We Are About: Organizations throughout our community are coming together to support the Rochester City School District teachers and students. This 5K Run/Walk is going to be held on Sunday, June 12th 2016 at Durand Eastman Park. This event is hosted by ROC City Values, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to strengthening core values in our Rochester kids and their families through collaborations with businesses, organizations and schools. This will ultimately benefit our communities throughout the City of Rochester.

Year One & Two:  In our first year, 2014, thanks to the 500+ participants, we were able to give out almost $8,000 in gift cards for RCSD teachers to purchase school supplies with! In 2015, with the help of several local business sponsors, incredible donators and participants, the event raised over $13,000 and had well over 500 participants once again. Amazing!

With about 60 schools/programs district-wide, our mission is raise enough funds to for each program to really feel the impact of the donations. With your registration and participation in helping to spread the word about this event, we can make it happen together!

It winds through the lowlands of Durand Beach to provide a refreshing break from the June morning sun. PCR Timing will provide timing for each individual runner.
