2025 Tour de Essex 7K Trail Run | Essex Park
October 18 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am
Come on out and enjoy a great fall morning touring the rolling hills of the Essex Park trails at the Tour de Essex, and at the same time you’ll be supporting the year-round maintenance of the Essex Park and Quarry Hills Park trail systems! These trails used for hiking, running, dog walking, and cross country skiing are expertly maintained throughout the year by volunteers of the Rochester Active Sports Community (RASC).
The approximately 7K trail run will start on the Essex Park entrance road and then head onto the trails. Running surfaces on the race course are mainly grass and dirt with short sections of gravel and asphalt.
The entry fee is a very reasonable $20.00 for online registration through Thursday, October 16. The entry fee for race day registration will be $25. Rochester Active Sports Community and Rochester Running Club members receive a $5 entry fee discount. All entry fees from the race will be put towards trail maintenance expenses (summer mowing and winter ski grooming).
