Rochester ECFE 5K & Family Fun Run

Rochester ECFE 5K & Family Fun Run
September 28, 2024

The Rochester ECFE 5K will begin and end at Soldier's Field in downtown Rochester, on September 28th, 2024. The funds raised through registration and sponsorship will directly benefit families in the Rochester community. Rochester Early Childhood and Family Education programs offer Parent and Family education classes and Early Childhood Screening at Northrop Community Education Building, RPS Preschool classrooms at Hoover Early Learning School, Northrop Community Education Building, and Mighty Oaks/Pinewood Early Learning School. Additionally, we serve children and parents who participate in Adult Basic Education at the Hawthorne Education Center. Rochester ECFE’s goal is to provide our youngest residents and their families with opportunities to connect with one another and engage in the great community of Rochester.

The free Family Fun Run will begin around 10:30 a.m. after the 5K has been completed. The whole family is invited to join the fun! Come out for the baby crawl, toddler and preschool heats and even some big kid races! We will also have food options available for purchase and additional games in the green space of the park.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available, please view the "Become a Sponsor" tab for more information.
