Wild Water Derby

The Wild Water Derby 5k is an exciting running event held in Shortsville and Manchester, NY, coinciding with a local kayak, canoe, and homemade raft race down the Canandaigua Outlet. Participants will navigate a USATF Certified course that showcases the scenic streets of Shortsville and the Manchester Gateway Trail. This year, the event is part of the Rochester Runner of the Year series, with proceeds benefiting the local volunteer fire departments.

All finishers receive handcrafted medals, and awards are given to top finishers in various age groups, along with cash prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
