Run The River Spring challenge offers a 5km, 10km and half marathon
Join us for the spring version of Run the River and choose from 5km, 10km or a half marathon.
Due to our original venue getting double booked disallowing us to have the time we need, we are moving the start and finish of the race to Louise McKinney. This will be our new home going forward and you will be running on pathways from there. Please check the route maps for regular updates.
Our mini legends stadium for the kids will be set up in the park.
