It's not too late to support or join the MCC team for the 2020 VIRTUAL AHA Heart Walk and Run on Saturday, June 20!

A full roster of activities is still planned that you can join online at https://www.facebook.com/events/545236386426331/

What does going virtual mean?

  • All participants are invited to join us for opening ceremonies at 9:00 am on June 20th online and then take a walk or run through your neighborhood.
  • If June 20th doesn't work for you? Walk or run another time during the week or weekend that does! Goal for completion is 5:00pm on June 20th.
  • Engage virtually! Join our Virtual Rochester Heart Walk & Run Facebook event page where we will post content to lead you through the event
