Irondequoit Juneteenth 5K

Irondequoit, NY

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

Please join us on Saturday June 15, 2024 for the Irondequoit Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk!


Juneteenth is a nationally recognized holiday and a celebration that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, on June 19, 1865. General Gordon Granger led 2,000 Union soldiers to Galveston, Texas to ensure the freedom of 250,000-still enslaved. Rochester, NY, home to Frederick Douglass, is the perfect place to host a Juneteenth Run/Walk!

This race is hosted by Irondequoit E.R.A.S.E. (Eliminating Racism And Seeking Equity). Your host will use all of the profit for scholarships for college-bound Black and Brown students from Irondequoit and Eastridge High Schools.

Finish your day celebrating freedom by joining us at our 5th annual Juneteenth festival at 12 noon at the Irondequoit Town Hall yard
