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! This year’s event will have a 5k run/walk and a children’s 1 mile run/walk! Everyone is welcome to participate and go at their own pace. 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. In the event that any of these scenarios happens or any other, there will be no refunds, transfers, or deferrals allowed unless otherwise stated.
