ROCtoberfest 5K presented by Strangebird

ROCtoberfest 5K, presented by Strangebird, is a festival-style fundraiser in Rochester, NY at Genesee Valley Park. Debuting in 2018, the event blends a 5K run/walk with a charitable mission, a post-race cookout, and on-site Strangebird beer sampling for those 21 and over. Runners receive an event bib, a short-sleeve T-shirt, and live timing with online results.

The race supports local charities through donor-backed fundraising and hosts a charity-partner program. Spectators and participants enjoy a community atmosphere, the course through Genesee Valley Park, and parking access on race day. Attendees often wear lederhosen to celebrate.
