But wait, there's more!
We'll have several local non-profit organizations that help support and maintain the trails we love.
Birdhouse Brewing will be there with beer tastings and to-go sales.
Writers & Books will be there with a pop-up bookstore with a curated selection of books for the trail running crowd.
The RIT Wegmans School of Health and Nutrition will be there discussing their programs in Nutrition and Exercise Science.
6:00PM - On with the show! There will be a brief introduction and then we'll start up the films.
7:00PM - Intermission! Take this time for some self-guided dynamic stretching or a visit to the concessions stand for some popcorn and beer. But hurry back because this is no ordinary intermission. While the films are paused, there will be a QR code on screen, which will enter participants into a second raffle to win prizes from our global sponsors.
The QR code won't be up for long, though, because we'll be showing a short film by event photographer and videographer Ron Heerkens Jr of Goat Factory Media.
8:00PM - Conclusion and Raffle! As the credits roll we'll announce the winners of the local raffle. Merchandise prizes can be picked up on the way out of the theater. Race entry prizes can be coordinated through race organizations.
