We are pleased to announce our longstanding GRTC Spring Track Clinic will be back up and running this spring. If you are coming out of COVID hibernation and interested in improving your running skills this year, make a commitment to come out for this great program. This 7week course under coaching of Mike Reif and Carolyn Smith Hanna (both GRTC HOF members) is one of the “gems” of GRTC membership. Starting this year on Wednesday night 5/12/21, it will run for 7 consecutive Wednesday nights at Center Park in Perinton. If you have done the clinic before you know the quality and fun of this great activity. If you have never done it before, don’t miss out for 2021. Over the 7 weeks, all aspects of training and the principles necessary to improve your running are covered. This is an opportunity for runners of all levels to learn how to optimally train for and improve their times in any distance and event. As importantly, it is also an immense amount of fun and provides great running comradery. The total cost remains a modest $45 for GRTC members. Non members are $65, but that includes the $20 for one year of GRTC membership. We will of course be observing the “usual” COVID precautions with masks and social distance that we have all gotten used to. Sign up today at the runsignup link below and don’t miss out on this great program. You will be glad you did.

The 4th annual Rush-Henrietta Kicking Hunger 5K will be held on the weekend of Friday, June 4th to Sunday, June 6th. Our hope is to hold a live event on Saturday, June 5th at 8:00 am, starting and ending in Veterans Memorial Park on Calkins Road in Henrietta. We are also offering a virtual option for participants anytime over that weekend.
Proceeds from the race have directly led to the opening and continuation of the Kicking Hunger Food Pantry on East Henrietta Road in Henrietta. The pantry opened in late November and more information can be found at https://www.rhnet.org/.

Keeping Our Promise Inc. invites you to participate in Run for their Lives – a Virtual Run Walk Bike Wheel or Ride Race to support our local Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) resettlement program. The race period will begin June 14th and end on Sunday, June 20, 2021 at 5pm EDT to coincide with World Refugee Day. You can submit your race results anytime during this period. We want to honor the journey that our wartime allies endured in order to resettle in the Rochester area. For some of our SIV friends, this journey took years while their lives and those of their family members were in immediate danger as a direct result of having supported the wartime efforts of the United States.
Your participation in this event will directly benefit the SIVs that resettle in the Rochester, New York area by raising funds so that we can continue to provide them with a comprehensive resettlement program that includes: paying for their first month’s rent and security, fully furnishing their new home and offering a modest car grant among other services.
The registration cost is $35 per participant. Each registrant will receive a race t-shirt. The t-shirt guarantee registration deadline is May 24, 2021, but registration will remain open until June 20, 2021.
