Embark on a scenic journey at the Harborfest 5K and 10K, set to take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in picturesque Rochester, NY. This popular event, a highlight of the vibrant Harborfest Festival at Ontario Beach Park, offers runners a unique blend of competitive running and lively community celebration. Participants can choose between the 5K, kicking off at 7:45 AM, or the 10K, starting at 9:00 AM.

The courses are known for their breathtaking scenery, guiding runners along the northern stretches of the Genesee River Trail and past the tranquil marina, culminating in an exhilarating beachside finish. The 10K distance offers an added treat, traversing the beautiful Genesee River Boardwalk at Turning Point Park. Expect relatively flat terrain, ideal for chasing personal bests or enjoying a leisurely run amidst stunning natural beauty. As part of the wider Harborfest Festival, runners will experience a festive atmosphere, with entertainment and activities extending beyond the finish line.

Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 78°F and lows around 59°F, with a minimal 14% chance of precipitation, providing generally pleasant running weather. As a component of the prestigious Fleet Feet Grand Prix Series, the Harborfest 5K and 10K attracts a strong field, offering a chance to compete for cash prizes and HOKA footwear. All participants receive a race-logoed T-shirt and post-race snacks, ensuring a rewarding experience from start to the unforgettable beach finish.
