Rainbow Run

REGISTER TODAY!

Get excited for the first-ever Rainbow Run!

Bag drop at River Valley Running will open at 8:00 AM (please pick up your belongings by 10:30 AM)

Head to Riverfront Park around 8:15 AM; the run will start at 8:30 AM. Depending on the number of participants, we may need to start in waves to ensure everyone has enough space on the River Trail. This will be an un-timed fun run.

The route will be on the River Trail heading towards Sibley Park. We'll have various distances marked so you can choose how far you want to go. The route is subject to change based on weather and conditions. 

Coffee and snacks by Lush Cakes will be provided afterward, free of charge.
