SHERBURNE — The 6th annual Friends of Rogers Wild Goose Chase 5k Trail Run/Walk will be both virtual and onsite at Rogers Center this year on Saturday, September 18th, 2021.

Well-groomed trails await you during this year's 5K challenge, but you do not need to be on property to participate. A virtual event allows participants to complete the run/walk race at their own pace and location of your choosing, or at Rogers Center. At the conclusion of your 3.4 mile trek, upload your time and be ranked among other participants.

“We will have the trails marked and ready for the onsite race this year. We encourage local participants to challenge friends and family across the country with the virtual race to add to the fun," said Executive Director Simon Solomon.

This year the race is also open to children! Anyone age 4 and up can participate. Special five dollar discount pricing for children ages 4 to 10, and random prizes will be awarded to participants. Since you can run or walk the 3.4 miles at Rogers Center, or anywhere, your whole family can join you for this healthy way to get outside and enjoy nature.

Registration is now open, go to runsignup.com/Race/NY/Sherburne/RunFORRogersCenterWildGooseChase to enter.

T-shirts will be available for pick up onsite, or at the conclusion of the race and mailed to those from out of region thereafter. T-shirt size not guaranteed after August 26 registration.

Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization that offers educational programs for people of all ages.

Currently the trails are open dawn to dusk daily, and the restrooms are open Friday to Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Visitor Center remains temporarily closed at this time.
