About the Event

17th Annual Wegmans East Avenue Grocery Run 1K/5K/10K November 7, 2026

Walk or run with us in-person or virtually to benefit local food pantries! You’ll feel great knowing your registration fee will go directly to Rochester-area organizations providing food, hope and dignity for hungry people. Thanks to our generous sponsors, donors and volunteers, the 2025 Grocery Run raised more than $110,000 for Rochester-area food pantries. We hope to do even better this year, so please join us to make a difference!

About Rochester

Learn more about the host city, Rochester.

Scenic view of

Big-city culture and small-city charm combine in Rochester, a mid-sized city on the shore of Lake Ontario. The birthplace of amateur photography, Rochester was synonymous with Eastman Kodak for much of the 20th century, but the city's fame was established well before George Eastman came on the scene. Today, its historical treasures complement modern family-friendly attractions that rival those found in much larger communities.
