About the Daniel's Race
Daniel's Race honors a teenager who died of Melanoma and ran in the early version of this event. Each year, proceeds go to a family or organization supporting children with life-threatening illnesses, and the race carries a clear sense of purpose that you feel from the start. The course runs through Churchville.
Packet pickup is available the day before the race at a local running store, with race-morning pickup at the start for those who register later. The store is in Rochester, so if you are coming from a distance, stopping there the evening before saves time on race morning.

The Daniel's Race has been held every year since at least 2018. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
