An alternative 5k course was implemented in 2004 due to the construction of PaeTech Park, the home of the Rochester Ragin' Rhinos Soccer Club north of the Brown's Square neighborhood. Due to the ongoing construction, this USATF certified course (NY04021KL) will once again be used this year. It is certified to be accurate by the USATF and is mainly flat and fast, starting near the corner of Oak and Brown Streets and making two loops around the historic Brown's Square neighborhood, with a finish inside Frontier Field at home plate.

This year, each entrant in the Medved 5k to Cure ALS will be feature computerized results by PCR Timing Service, Inc. using their the unique DAG System.
|
The DAG System is widely used in Europe and is the first
disposable chip system to be used in the United States. PCR
Timing, Inc was only the second US timing company to hop on
board, and already it is revolutionizing the way races are
timed.
Here's how it works: the chip is attached to the back of the runner’s bib and the time is recorded automatically by the computer when the runner crosses under an antenna at the finish line. With this system, all results are 100% computerized, automating everything and eliminating any chance of missed data. With the DAG System, up-to-the-minute results can be provided while the race is in progress |
