This beloved event, celebrating its 7th year for the 10K, offers both a 5K and a 10K road race, along with a 5K walk, all starting and finishing at the Pittsford Elementary School Playground. Runners will navigate a scenic course around the perimeter of the village, featuring partially shaded paved and dirt roads, providing a beautiful yet challenging experience that makes the 10K one of the few of its distance in Hillsdale County.
Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 81°F and lows around 59°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. Aid stations will be available on the course, with a water station around the 1.5-mile mark, and fresh fruit and water provided for all participants at the finish line. Beyond the race, this event fosters a strong sense of community, with proceeds directly benefiting the Pittsford High School Cross Country and Track Programs. Adding to the family-friendly atmosphere, a free kids' race will follow the main events, ensuring a fun day for all ages. As a proud member of the Tri-County Race series, the Pittsford Firecracker 5&10K also offers competitive awards, including trophies for overall male and female winners and medals for the top three finishers across 30 different age and gender categories.
