Byron Fire/EMS 5K Run & Walk

Annual 5K fundraiser for All Babies Cherished Pregnancy Assistance Center. Family fun walk/run. We recommend that you register online prior to the race to decrease the handling of cash and lines for registration due to pandemic concerns. You will be able to register online up until the start of the race using your smart phone and a credit card. There will be a post race ceremony with small prizes for top runners in each age group. Water and snacks will be provided post-race as well. It's easy to raise sponsorship funds with our on-line sponsor sign-up.

The Annual Strawberry Festival 5k/8k race started by the late Mrs. Judy Christopher to inspire those in our community to run/walk to be healthy. Wolfpack Multisport continues to strive to bring a healthy positive change to our community. Won't you join us at the longest running race in Orleans County. Choose your distance, 5k or 8k, running through the Beautiful Village of Albion, and along the Historic Erie Canal. Proceeds from the event benefit the Rotary Club of Albion.

This 5K race is in remembrance of Daniel Myslivecek, who lost his battle with Melanoma at the age of 16. A friend of Daniel's organized the first 5K in 2005 to help the family with medical costs. Daniel ran in that first race and died 4 months later from his illness. The 5K has continued with the support of our community and each year the proceeds are given to a family or organization that helps children with a life-threatening illness while heightening Melanoma awareness.
