We’re getting closer to the 12th Annual ROCovery Run/Walk and X-Challenge! presented by Rochester Regional Health, Lewis Tree, A Better High, Wegmans & Owen’s Point, and we want to make sure you’re ready to go!

📦 PACKET PICK-UP STARTS THIS THURSDAY! 📦

Thursday, 9/10 | 4–7 PM @ ROCovery
Friday, 9/11 | 9 AM–12 PM @ ROCovery
Saturday, 9/12 | 9 AM–12 PM @ ROCovery
Sunday, 9/13 | 8:30–9:45 AM @ Mendon Ponds Park

⭐ We STRONGLY encourage all participants to pick up their race packets before race day! Picking up ahead of time helps you avoid long lines and lengthy delays on Sunday morning.

👥 Coming with a team or group? You can designate one person to pick up packets for everyone! You can even send us a list of names ahead of time, and we’ll have them packed up and ready to go. Send your list to [email protected].

♻️ While you’re picking up your packet, don’t forget about our Can Drive! Bring your NYS redeemable cans and bottles at ROCovery during packet pickup, or bring them with you on race day. Every NYS redeemable container collected earns ROCovery $0.05, so your recyclables can help support community, connection, and recovery🫶💙

IT’S RACE WEEK!!!

Greetings and thank you for being a part of the 12th Annual ROCovery Run/Walk and X-Challenge presented by Owen’s Point, Rochester Regional Health, A Better High, Lewis Tree and Wegmans. It is a true celebration of fitness and recovery, and an important fundraiser for this life saving organization.

Whether you enjoy the asphalt pounding tempo of a good road race, the serenity and technical aspects of a trail run OR the novelty and challenge of an obstacle course, this race has a little bit of something for everyone—even if you just want to gather the crew together for a nice stroll through the park with hundreds of others to celebrate the hope we all find in recovery. Your participation and support is helping to raise awareness and provide hope in recovery to thousands living in our community and their families who are battling addiction.

We hope to answer any questions you may have prior to the event in this Participant Guide (pics or web link here: https://www.rocoveryfitness.org/2026participantguide.html).
If however, you still have questions after reading the guide in its entirety, please don’t hesitate to send us an e-mail at [email protected] or call us at 585-484-0234.

Thank you!
