Rochester 5K
Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps, big temp swing
Mild 54°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temps will climb significantly to 70°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 68% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Rochester 5K starts in Maplewood Park on the Sunday of race weekend, runs out along Maplewood Drive and turns back onto the Genesee River path heading south. The route crosses the river at Middle Falls, climbs Brewer Street to St. Paul Boulevard, passes the brewery and crosses the Pont de Rennes Bridge. It finishes downtown on Morrie Silver Way outside the ballpark, covering the last stretch of the half marathon course.
