- Brain Cancer Charity 5K run/Walk at the RoundHouse Shelter location at Genesee Valley Park. Family friendly, we will have kids races and every participant will receive a stech-shirt and medal for participating.
Join UWP for our 11th Annual 5K Walk & Run on Saturday, April 18th, 2020 in Powder Mills Park! There are lots of ways to participate – you can volunteer at the race, register to walk or run, or be a sponsored runner and fundraise with a team! Online registration begins February 1st at www.ugandanwaterproject.com/5k
Each year the 5K raises $25,000-$35,000 to help fund the mission of UWP throughout the year. The event brings out 400-500 runners, walkers, volunteers and friends to cheer them on! The 5K is an energetic, family-friendly event with live music, refreshments, prizes and a 1K Kids Fun Run.
Our 5K is in remembrance of Daniel Myslivecek, who lost his battle with Melanoma at the age of 16. A friend of Daniel’s organized the first 5K in 2005 to help the family with medical costs. Daniel ran in that first race and died 4 months later from his illness. The 5K has continued with the support of our community and each year the proceeds are given to a family or organization that helps children with a life-threatening illness while heightening Melanoma awareness. Our organization has also partnered with the Golisano Children’s Hospital. In a three year period we raised $25,000 for support of the hospital and are fortunate enough to have a piece of the hospital in Daniel’s name.
This is the second race in the Rochester Runner of the Year Series.
The Half Marathon and Relay Course tours the Central and South East part of Rochester including the historical homes of Susan B Anthony and George Eastman, many mansions of East Avenue, the quaint Park Avenue neighborhood, the picturesque Highland Park Area plus historic Mt Hope Cemetery and Genesee River Path. The 5K incorporates the Susan B Anthony Neighborhood and Downtown Rochester. Come experience the richness of the “Flower City”! https://runsignup.com/Race/NY/Rochester/FlowerCityChallenge?remMeAttempt=
On Sunday April 26, 2020, the Strong Memorial Hospital Transplant Programs and the Friends of Strong will host the 19th Annual Rochester River 5k Run and Walk. We are hosting this event during Organ Donor Awareness Month, which will give us an opportunity to promote organ donation in our community. The money raised from the Rochester River Run/Walk 5K directly benefits heart, liver, kidney, and pancreas patients when these needs arise. Patients often experience financial hardships while awaiting and receiving a transplant, or following through with expensive anti-rejection and life sustaining medication regimens post-transplant.
We are holding a 5k to support Teen Challenge Connecticut. We are a 15 month drug and alcohol rehab program. All the proceeds will go towards scholarship funds to ensure that if someone cannot afford treatment that they don’t have to pay.

WHY “SEHGAHUNDA”? WHY LETCHWORTH STATE PARK?
The Sehgahunda Valley (“Vale of Three Falls”), which encompasses the portion of the Genesee River Valley, was comprised of several villages settled by the Seneca People. The locations of these villages make up the current boundaries of Letchworth State Park.
Letchworth State Park spans over 14,000 acres, with miles and miles of trails – all with varying degrees of technicality to challenge both experienced runners and casual hikers. Many of the trails that make up this race are the very trails used by the Seneca Indians to access the Genesee River, which bisects this valley, giving rise to its nickname “The Grand Canyon of the East.”
We dare you to experience the beauty, history, and challenge of this unique event!
