About this race
The Rush-Henrietta Athletic Association, in conjunction with the Rush-Henrietta Area Food Terminal (RHAFT) and the Town of Henrietta Recreation Department, invite you to participate in the 7th annual Rush-Henrietta Kicking Hunger 5K in Henrietta, NY. The 2024 race will provide participants with two options - a live event on Saturday, June 1st (8 am start) or a virtual event the weekend of Friday, May 31st to Sunday, June 2nd.
The purpose of this race will continue to focus on bringing awareness and providing tangible solutions to the issue of hunger in our community, as well as continuing the tradition of promoting exercise and family-centered events in our town. Since 2018, the race has raised over $35,000 and also allowed for RHAFT to collect hundreds of non-perishable food items. Race proceeds have directly impacted our local community by helping to fund both the Rush-Henrietta Central School District (RHCSD) Kicking Hunger Summer Food Program and BackPack Program, as well as providing support for community food and student-centered programs through both RHAFT and the Town of Henrietta. In 2020 and 2021, the Kicking Hunger Committee distributed more than 1,800 bags of food to local families through the RHCSD BackPack Program. The race has also allowed for the opening of the Rush-Henrietta School Food Pantry in the Good Shepherd Building on East Henrietta Road. This community resource, which has been opened since November 2020, continues to support local families in need.

What to expect
Written from race dataThe RH Kicking Hunger 5K Run/Walk, presented by Rush-Henrietta, is a community event aimed at combating hunger, offering both in-person and virtual participation options for its 2024 edition. The in-person race kicks off on May 31st, 2024, in Henrietta, NY, with a virtual option also available. This event is likely part of a recurring series, with a focus on supporting a charitable cause. Participants can expect a family-friendly atmosphere, with opportunities for both runners and walkers to contribute. While specific terrain details for the in-person 5K are not provided, 5K events in suburban settings like Henrietta typically take place on a mix of paved roads and possibly some well-maintained park trails, offering a generally accessible and flat to gently rolling course. Participants should be prepared for typical early June weather in New York, which can range from cool to warm. The virtual race allows participants to run or walk the 5K distance on their own schedule and location, with a student discount available during checkout for the virtual option.
