Gratitude Run 5K, 1-Mile, and 50-Meter Kids Dash

Join us this Thanksgiving — November 28, 2024 — for the Second annual Gratitude Run hosted at the Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp.

 Run or walk through the beautiful Sunshine Camp nestled in 157 acres in Rush, NY. Spend your morning moving your body, connecting with nature, and benefiting an impactful organization. This event is timed with chips and each participant will receive a bib, as well as a long-sleeve t-shirt*. Drinks at mile markers (water, electrolytes), food following event, and special surprise messages along the course. All proceeds of the event will be donated to the Sunshine Camp. 

Last year at our inaugural event, we donated all the proceeds of the race to the camp for a total of $1,026.58. This year, please help us reach our goal of $4,000!

Since 1922, Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp has provided a summer camp where children with disabilities can simply have fun, without any barriers. Today, the Sunshine Camp meets the needs of thousands of children with disabilities and their families. Every year, more than 2,500 kids get the chance to enjoy a camping experience that they cannot get anywhere else.
