The 5th annual MKTKD 5K event will be held Sunday August 10th at Webster park. Our last 4 #5KTKD events have raised over $20,000 for The Taekwondo Fund!

The events will be timed with medals awarded to all participants and special trophies for the winners of all divisions. There will also be a virtual option for anyone who is not able to make the event in person. Each event (5k, 1 mile kids run/walk, and virtual) will have standard package including a medal, and a deluxe option including the medal and event shirt. Scroll down for the sign up links and specific information on each event.

Important information about the kid's 1 mile run: This 1 mile course is meant to challenge our younger students ages 4-12 to see how quickly they can run 1 mile. Our tiny tiger students (kids aged 4-6 years old) are welcome to bring an adult guide (1 person over 13 years old) who will not be charged to guide them and motivate them on the course. The mile is competitive and timed and rankings will be broken into age level awards, but we do want our students to have fun and be safe so please remind your students of the following rules:

1. Please pass without pushing

2. Be aware of your surroundings, this is a grass course on a field.

3. Wear the appropriate sports gear. Sneakers only on the course

First Responders 5K

September 4, 2026 • 6:30pm

Webster Fireman's Field, 1193-1207 Ridge Rd, Webster, NY 14580

The First Responders 5K recognizes the strength, perseverance, and courage of Police Officers, Firefighters, EMTs, 911 Operators and their families in our local community. First Responders put their lives on the line for us every day as they face hardships that most of us will never know. The repetitive negative experience of stressful and potentially traumatic events that First Responders face on a daily basis leaves them particularly vulnerable to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. We hope that this event can raise awareness for PTSD in First Responders, and raise funds for FRST Agency, local charity that will provide support, awareness, assets, and services to First Responders seeking assistance in dealing with the effects of PTSD. Join us as we recognize the service and sacrifice of the people who dedicate their lives to protecting ours.

A portion of proceeds, as well as 100% of additional donations, will be donated to the FRST Agency.

There is no on-site registration. Please plan accordingly.

By registering for this event you are acknowledging that the date, time, location, and distance of the race may be changed, switched to virtual, or canceled at any time as deemed necessary by the Race Directors due to circumstances beyond their control.

Something new and exciting is coming to Rochester NY on Sunday, September 20, 2026 as we will offer the inaugural Countdown to ONE! challenge. This unique challenge is for those dedicated runners that like to push themselves a bit more than others. As a Countdown to ONE participant you will run as many single miles as you can based on the time requirements for each. The course is a 1 mile loop. The start/finish for each mile is the same. All participants receive a finisher medal.

Here's how it works...

Each mile must be completed in less than the required time to advance to the next mile. If you fail to complete any of the miles in the allotted time you're out of the competition.

The first mile must be completed in 15 minutes or under, the second mile must be completed in 13 minutes or less, 3rd mile in 11 minutes or less, 4th mile in 10 minutes or less. These 4 miles make up the Bronze category. You must complete all 4 miles under the time cut offs to earn a bronze pin that can be attached to your medal.

The next wave would be the Silver category, 9 1/2, 9, 8 1/2 and 8 minute miles. You must complete all 8 miles under the time cut offs to earn the Silver pin to attach to your medal.

If you're still standing, it's onto the Gold category, 7 1/2, 7, 6 1/2 and 6 minute miles. You must complete all 12 miles under the time cut offs to earn the gold pin to attach to your medal.

If we have to go beyond this to get to our last person standing we will continue to drop each mile time requirement by 30 seconds.

If you finish any of the miles in under the required time to finish you are welcome to stretch, refuel and rest. There will be a one minute separation between each leg of this ultimate challenge.

As much as this is a competition to get to the last male and female standing, it's also a personal challenge for those not in the running to win it all. Set your goal, up your training and achieve your personal best!

All participants will receive a super cool and quite large finisher medal. Depending on the category you completed your last single mile successfully you will receive a pin to add to your finisher medal (Bronze, Silver, Gold).

Top Male and top Female finishers will receive a cash prize of $125 (each)
