The Matt St. James 5k Run/Walk is a USATF-sanctioned event held annually in Rochester, NY, at 2301 Westside Drive. The race features a 5K course on the Matt St.

James cross country trails, welcoming both runners and walkers. A free 1K kids' run follows the main event. Participants who pre-register receive a T-shirt, and chip timing is provided for accurate results.
