Do you need some assistance in training for a 5K or 10K? Are you new to running? The Medved 5K & 10K Training Group can help. Whether you have never completed a 5K or 10K, or you are looking to improve your times, our training program can help you accomplish your goals. There will be two group workouts each week and we will provide you with a weekly training plan. All group workouts will be conducted with a fun/supportive atmosphere. 


Our training programs are tailored to your individual needs with personal coaching and encouragement.


In addition to training there will be discussions on proper running shoe fit, dressing for various weather conditions, nutritional needs, goal setting, strength training, stretching, race preparation, recovery, and more!


The group will meet on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm and Saturday mornings at 8:00 am. We will meet at various locations in the Rochester area. We know that running is just one aspect of your very busy life and we do not expect that you will be able to attend every session! Weekly training plans will be provided for you.


The training program begins on May, 25, 2022. The focus of this program will be the Jungle Jog 5K on Sunday, July 17th. This is a Rochester running tradition and favorite event for many of our participants!

5k/10k Training Program

We finally have some nice spring weather! It is time to kick-off Trail Running Season! This coming weekend there are two great trail races that you can run.


It starts on Saturday with The Inaugural Stella 5k and Kids 1/2-Mile Run. The run is being brought to you by Camp Stella Maris in Livonia, NY and proceeds from the event are being used to provide scholarships as part of the Campership program.


On Sunday we'll be hosting The 15th Annual Medved Madness Trail Races. You can choose from either 5(ish) or 13(ish) mile options. After the run we'll have a catered barbecue with all the fixings, and craft brewed beer from Heroes Brewing Company.


Both of these events are being held at Mendon Ponds Park and offer discounts for Members of The Medved Endurance Project.

Invasive Species Education:

A Guided Hike Series

First Hike: May 16

Mendon Ponds Park

Medved Running and Walking Outfitters is excited to partner with representatives of Finger Lakes PRISM to bring you a 4-part monthly guided hike series focused on education on the subject of Invasive Species.


An invasive species is an organism that is introduced to an area outside its native range that causes or has the potential to cause harm to the environment, economy, or human health. The Field Guides will teach you how to identify common invasive species in our region, explain how different species become more prevalent over the course of the growing season, and provide education on what we can do to help fight invasive species and protect our parks. 


Sign up for just one hike or the entire series! Hikes are scheduled for the following dates:


  • May 16, 2022
  • June 20, 2022
  • July 11, 2022
  • August 15, 2022



All hikes will take place in Mendon Ponds Park. Each outing will be 1.5 to 2 hours in duration (we will not be in the woods in the dark!) and will be beginner level hikes, on flat terrain with many prolonged stops to discuss the surrounding foliage. We may encounter muddy terrain, so please be prepared! Strollers and pets are not allowed. The specific meet up locations will be wet/dry condition dependent and we will notify all registered participants ahead of time.


Is it recommended that participants be prepared with water, bug repellent and sunscreen.  Long pants or tall socks are also recommended as we will be hiking during poison ivy and tick season! You may also choose to download the iMapInvasives app on your phone prior to our hikes. iMapInvasives is an online, mobile-friendly, GIS-based data management system that is used for tracking and managing invasive species. iMapInvasives is used by natural resource professionals and citizen scientists to quickly and easily report information about invasive species. The platform enables real-time tracking of infestations and improves management decisions to protect native species and ecosystems.


All proceeds will be donated to Cummings Nature Center for Hemlock Woolly Adelgid treatments. Help Save The Hemlocks!
