Nocturnal 12

At Obatron Productions, we believe in friendly competition. To that end, following is a list of nearby fixed time races within the Greater Rochester area (Monroe County and its contiguous counties) that we've personally done or know the directors well enough to vouch for them putting on quality events. That said, our experience isn't a guarantee that you'll love them as much as we do, but we sure hope that's the case!

April - New in 2026 - ROCovery #OMAAT 24-Hour Run/Walk Challenge, Fairport, 24-hour race on mixed, mostly flat terrain in a public park; ROCovery has been a Nocturnal 12 sponsor in support of an event that provides a substance-free environment for all racers and volunteers
