Race Information
Each edition of the Montgomery 5K/10K River Run is a family-friendly event that features a flat, fast-running course along both sides of the beautiful Fox River. The 5K and 10K courses are both USATF-certified courses (5K: IL-06047JW; 10K: IL-13137JW). Pets, kids, strollers, and baby joggers are welcome to run/walk the 5K course but are asked to start at the back of the start corral to ensure a safe run experience for all participants.
