Twelve years on the river

Still the friendliest start line in the county. Walk it, race it, or chase a stroller across it.

A runner climbing an outdoor obstacle

Pick the 10K trail or the 5K road. Obstacles are optional, but everybody tries the rope.

Two kids walking hand in hand in the park

Bring the whole crew

Every finisher gets a medal, and the kids dash always sells out first.

A racer hauling a tire on the obstacle course

Volunteers at every obstacle, water at every mile, and cheers the whole way around.

A group walking together across a grassy field

Run it your way

Thousands walk it every year. There is no wrong pace on the river.

Stay for the party

Food trucks, music, and medals in the park the second you cross the line.

A mobile coffee bike in a green park

Coffee is on us at the finish. Stick around a while, you earned it.
