The 6th annual MKTKD 5K event will be held Sunday August 9th at Webster park.
Our last 5 #5KTKD events have raised over $25,000 for The Taekwondo Fund!
We are excited to support Girls on the Run for 2026.
This year’s event will have a 5k run/walk and a children’s 1 mile run/walk!
Everyone is welcome to participate and go at their own pace. The events will be timed with medals awarded to all participants and special
trophies for the winners of all divisions. There will also be a virtual option for anyone who is not able to make the event in person. Each event (5k, 1 mile kids run/walk, and virtual) will have standard package including a medal, and a deluxe option including the
medal and event shirt.
Scroll down for the sign up links and specific information on
each event.
Important information about the kid's 1 mile run: This 1 mile course is meant to challenge our younger students ages 4-12 to see how quickly they can run 1 mile.
Parents will be able to view and help the children throughout the course. It is a large open field and their will staff all around the course to assist. The mile is competitive and timed and rankings will be broken into age level awards, but we do want our students to
have fun and be safe so please remind your students of the following rules:
1. Please pass without pushing
2. Be aware of your surroundings, this is a grass course on a field.
3. Wear the appropriate sports gear. Sneakers only on the course

Girls on the Run (GOTR) of Greater Rochester inspires 3rd-8th grade girls in Monroe,
Ontario, Livingston, and Wayne counties to be joyful, healthy, and confident using fun, experience-based curricula that creatively integrates running. GOTR teaches girls life skills such as managing emotions, resolving conflict, helping others, and making intentional decisions while also promoting physical health through movement.
The program’s unique, intentional suite of curricula is designed to enhance girls’ social, psychological, and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and completing a celebratory 5K. The 5K is designed to empower girls by giving them the opportunity to set and accomplish a goal. Successfully crossing the finish line provides a tangible sense of achievement, boosting their
confidence and inspiring them to pursue other life goals.
