Airport 5k Race

The Airport 5k, benefiting Lifetime Assistance, is being held on Saturday, June 23. Register online through the race website or active.com. This unique course gives runners the opportunity to race on a runway at the Greater Rochester International Airport.

This year Olympic champion Frank Shorter (marathon winner 1972, silver medalist 1976) will be on hand, giving a motivational speech before the race, starting the 5k race and presenting awards. Mr. Shorter still competes today, continuing to inspire runners thirty years after the first running boom.

Lifetime Assistance provides services to children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families. Currently they serve over 2,000 people in our area, offering residential services, day services, employment, family support, transportation and community services.
