Bridge to Bridge Run

IVS Bridge to Bridge Run
The Best 4 Mile Race Between Two Cities

2023 Results

Since it's inaugural running in 2012, the Bridge to Bridge 4 mile race has become one of the premier running events in the area.

The race starts on Water Street, outside RC Outfitters ( 311 SW Water St, Peoria, Illinois 61602), at 7:00a. IDOT road work has again caused course changes, but, for 2024 the closures do not preclude starting at RCO and running across the Illinois River into East Peoria. The 2024 course runs through city streets a short distance before crossing the Bob Michel Bridge over the Illinois River. Leaving the bridge, the route enters the East Peoria River Trail to Clock Tower Drive, through the East Peoria Levee District to the traffic circle, and turns right on W. Washington and turns 180 degrees at the beginning of the entrance ramp to I-74 (the 2 mi mark), and retraces the the same route in reverse back to the finish line at RCO on Water St. Water Stops will be near mile markers 1, 2, 3, and at the start/finish line.

The Post Race Celebration and Awards will be at the CEFCU Center Stage, 200 N. Water St, just North of the Peoria Riverfront Museum and Caterpillar Visitor Center.

Hot food is provided by the Olive Garden Italian Kitchen - Olive Garden's famous bread sticks and pasta (with choice of meat or vegetarian Marinara sauce), with soft drinks, water, Gatorade, and beer.... immediately after finishing the race.

Music will be provided by a live band.
