Whether you’re tackling your first 5K, stepping up to the 10K, taking on the Half Marathon, or chasing a new personal best, Rivertown Races offers something for runners of all experience levels. Plus, young runners can join the fun with a special kids event the evening before race day.

This year, we are excited to announce that the Rivertown Races will be presented by our friends at Striders!
