RHSC's Super Hear-O 5K & Family Fun Run

Lace up your cape for the RHSC's Super Hear-O 5K & Family Fun Run, an inspiring event set to take place on Sunday, June 7, 2026, in picturesque Rochester, NY. This vibrant gathering calls on heroes of all ages and abilities to run, walk, roll, or stroll through Seneca Park, offering both a chip-timed 5K (3.1M) and a leisurely 1M distance. More than just a race, this event is a powerful fundraiser for the Rochester Hearing & Speech Center, supporting their vital mission of "Communication for Life" for individuals and children with special needs in the community.

Participants can choose between a 5K trail run or a 5K road run, while the one-mile option offers a paved loop suitable for all, including strollers and rollers. Seneca Park provides a scenic backdrop for your efforts, promising an enjoyable experience amidst nature. With typical race day conditions in early June seeing highs around 76°F and lows near 56°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, the weather is often ideal for a spirited morning. The event kicks off with registration opening at 8 AM, leading into a fun-filled day that previously attracted over 200 enthusiastic participants.

Beyond the physical challenge, the Super Hear-O 5K is renowned for its inclusive and family-friendly atmosphere, encouraging everyone to unleash their inner superhero by dressing in their favorite hero attire. The day includes engaging family activities, raffles, a DJ, and even an ice cream truck, ensuring entertainment for all. Kids under 12 participate free, making it an accessible and uplifting community event that celebrates camaraderie and purpose, all while making a tangible difference in the lives of those RHSC serves.
