    This program is designed to help walkers, walk-runners, and runners who want to traverse the 5K, 5-Mile, or 10K distance, whether they have previously done their selected distance or not. There is no obligation to register for any race, and if you choose to register for one, that is a payment to the race.

    The program targets three groups' goals:

    • walkers who want to gradually increase the amount of mileage they do so that they can complete a 5K, 5-Mile, or 10K

    • walk-runners who want to increase the speed of their walk-run to shorten their 5K, 5-Mile, or 10K times

    • those who want to train to run a 5K, 5-Mile, or 10K without walking

    All "Ready for" programs take participants from where they are to their chosen distances and cover at least six weeks, with many coached in-person workouts (including 5K, 5-Mile, and10K practice for the participants' chosen training distances), a practice of at least 70% of their specific distance, a comprehensive training plan (tweaked midway, if needed, as the participants progress), and a private training group on Facebook.

    When:

    Tuesdays and Thursdays either at 8 a.m. for morning only sessions or 6 p.m. for traditional weeknight/weekend morning sessions.

    Saturdays, 8 a.m. for both sessions

    Where:

    Most workouts are at Greece Canal Park, Millennium Lodge, at 241 Elmgrove Rd., Rochester, NY 14626 until too dark for the park (it closes at dusk). When GCP is closed, sessions typically move to nearby Henpeck Park, Cherry Creek Ln, and Canal Ponds Park.

    What:

    Tuesdays are hill workouts. Thursdays are speed workouts. Saturdays are long distance workouts.

    Why choose Ready for 5K/5-Mile/10K for your training?

    • No minimum pace requirement.

    • No previous experience required for 5K; experience may be required for 5-Mile and 10K, if the session is a shorter one.

    • Small program size means Vickey gets to know you well enough to lightly tailor a program to your goals and needs.

    • Vickey is an experienced walker and runner who has raced a wide range of paces and distances, so she can relate to a variety of issues and concerns.

    • You choose which 5K/5-Mile/10K to participate in, if you want to do an official 5K/5-Mile/10K at all.

    • It's cost effective and provides personalization and individual attention in a small group setting where the coach gets to know each participant.

    • All participants are welcome from people just starting to walk for fitness to those who have been racing for years.

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

    For the past two years, over 200 families gathered on a beautiful Sunday morning in June, many wearing superhero costumes, and ran, walked, rolled and strolled for a really great cause. They came out for Rochester Hearing & Speech Center’s annual Super Hear-O 5K, an event to celebrate the superheroes making a difference in the lives of individuals with hearing health needs and children with developmental disabilities served through our nonprofit mission of “Communication for Life.”

    At RHSC, we provide both hearing health testing and treatment for individuals of all ages, but we also provide Early Intervention and Preschool Developmental Services to our youngest and most vulnerable children, many of whom are currently on the waitlist for Early Intervention services in Monroe County. Our team of audiologists, special education teachers, speech-language pathologists and occupational and physical therapists are superheroes who change the lives of so many every single day.

    Now in it's third year, RHSC's Super Hear-O 5K & Family Fun Run will take place on Sunday, June 7th, from 9-11am in Seneca Park. This inclusive and family friendly event is geared toward all ages and abilities and features a 5K Walk/Run and a one-mile paved walk/roll or stroll option. The event also includes a Super Kid Zone filled with fun activities and our friends at Netsin’s will be joining us once again to provide ice cream for our participants. And, we’re expecting an even bigger turnout!

    Please note that registration is FREE for kids under 12, but race t-shirt must be purchased at checkout, if desired (youth sizes available).
