In Rochester

Getting Around on Race Day
Downtown Rochester is walkable, but streets around the race area will close. Use a downtown parking garage and plan to walk to the start; local buses may have detours.
Spectator Spots
Spectators can watch from downtown sidewalks and later meet runners at the finish area. The city's compact center makes it easy to cheer at a few spots without a car.
Recover and Explore
After the race, walk along the Genesee River or through Highland Park to loosen up. Rochester's Neighborhood of the Arts and Park Avenue districts are good for a relaxed post-race meal.
