Run The River Fall challenge offers a 5km, 10km and half marathon
Join us for the fall version of our Run the River challenge. Challenge yourself to run further or faster than you did in the spring.
The race starts and finishes at Louise McKinney Riverfront park with all routes following the river valley pathways.
