NEW RACE DATE: SUNDAY MARCH 12, 2023
We have rescheduled the race to take place on Sunday! Packet pickup and race day registration will take place at the Fire Hall as planned, however since Somewhere is closed, we will reroute the course back to the Fire Hall for the post race and awards ceremony. Runners are also invited to stop by The Stone Jug after the race. They will be offering Happy Hour pricing and Blue Light specials for all participants!
For those who cannot attend the rescheduled date (and we realize there will be a few) there will not be refund or deferal options. Those who do not attend will automatically be switched to the virtual division and your race shirt and medal can be picked up by a friend at the race or we will gladly mail it out on Monday 3/14.
Please join us on Sunday March 12, 2023 for the 5th Annual St. Patrick's Rock'n 5K in Youngstown, New York! All participants who register by Thursday March 9th at 9am are guaranteed to receive a Rock'n 5K t-shirt in their requested size. Alternate gift (TBD) for late registrants. In addition, the first 250 to register will receive one of our newly designed custom bottle opener finisher medals! Custom race bibs and post race food/snacks also provided. The race is being brought to you by iRun WNY and will take in the beautiful residential neighborhoods throughout the village. Our goal is to help raise money for the Youngstown Volunteer Fire Company Fire Police who help at local races and serve our community throughout the year.
