After a successful virtual event in 2020, online registration is now open for the 16th annual in-person Daniel’s Race, a 5K run/walk being held at Churchville-Chili Middle School on Saturday, August 14.
The race is in memory of Daniel Myslivecek, who lost his more than two year battle with Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma. The community united as Daniel ran the first 5K in March 2006 and he passed away that June. Daniel’s dream was to serve others and his legacy has raised melanoma awareness.
Participants can register or donate by clicking the “Register” link at www.daniels5k.com. The registration fee is $25, and registration packets/race bibs can be picked up at the Rochester Running Company on Mt. Hope Avenue.
This year’s proceeds will support a local family whose child was born with a rare birth defect called cloacal exstrophy, a bladder disorder that has required surgeries and an extended stay in the hospital. More information about this family is available on the Daniel’s Race website.
