Join us for our inaugural 5K run at Seneca Park in Rochester, NY!

We are called **The Green Race** for a reason. Our events aim to contribute to the
local community and environment by enjoying the outdoors sustainably, with each 
of us doing our part to lead more sustainable lives and preserve the environment.
We see The Green Race events as opportunities to reset ourselves in everyday life
and habits. We aim to promote environmentally friendly, ZERO WASTE race events in
the following ways:

– NO CUPS! The Green Race does not provide disposable cups (but we do provide water),
so please bring your own containers.
 – NO DISPOSABLE VOUCHERS! Find all partner
discount offers and codes on the back of your race bib! – REUSABLE RACE PACKS! Our
race packs are reusable wetsacs for all your soggy post-race running gear. Also 
makes a great sealable bag for your muddy trail shoes.
