About this run
Join Us on April 16 & 17, 2027! Run, celebrate, and make memories at the 14th annual Rivertown Races! 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. Starting and finishing at the Meadows of Millennium Park in Grand Rapids, the course takes runners across roads, paved trails, and bridges while showcasing beautiful lakes, wetlands, and rolling terrain. This year, we are excited to announce that the Rivertown Races will be presented by our friends at Striders! "Striders is excited to partner with this premier local spring race, and support the important mission of Bridge Street Ministries (owner and beneficiary) as they work to equip and empower local youth to be future leaders of restoration and hope." -Jeff Jauch, owner Register by March 30th to lock in your shirt size!
