Cortland YMCA/Borg Warner Rock Around the Block 5k

Kick off Porchfest 2021 with the Rock Around the Block 5k! Join us at Suggett Park in Cortland for a morning of music and fun before the bands start playing. 

The race starts at 9:00 AM. Packet pickup starts at 8:00 AM at the park, and goes until 8:45. Please come early so that we can get everyone through and start on time. 

This date is tentative based on NYS guidelines. If we have to reschedule, we'll reach out to let everyone know ASAP.

COVID Protocols: To keep everyone safe at our events, we are changing the way we race this year. 

• There will be NO day-of registrations this year. All racers must register in advance.
• We are using staggered starts, spread out every 2-3 minutes.
• Masks must be worn before and after the race, and anytime you are within 6' of another racer on the course.
• No 'snot rockets', spitting, or similar before, during, or after the race.
• Winners will be announced after all racers have returned. Please keep six feet apart and keep your mask on while waiting for results.
• Race shirts and bibs can be picked up the day before the race at the Cortland YMCA (details announced soon) or the morning of the race (between 8:00 AM and 8:45 AM).

If you registered for last year's races, you will be automatically re-registered for this year's races, free of cost. Please watch for a confirmation email in the coming weeks.
