Join Us on April 17 & 18, 2026! Celebrating our 14th year...Rivertown Races has become a popular family-friendly 1/2 Marathon, 10k, & 5k, with a kids event the evening before. Any of the distances are great for first-timer runners to elites. These events start and finish at the beautiful Meadows of Millennium Park, the largest urban park in the area, located in Walker, MI, southwest of Grand Rapids. Runners will travel over roads, paved trails, and bridges while enjoying the rolling terrain, wetlands, and lakes that encompass this unique location. Food and beverages, music, and family fun will be available throughout the event. This year we are excited to announce that the Rivertown Races will be presented by our friends at Striders ! "Striders is excited to partner with this premier local spring race, and support the important mission of Bridge Street Ministries (owner and beneficiary) as they work to equip and empower local youth to be future leaders of restoration and hope." -Jeff Jauch, owner Register by April 1st to lock your shirt size in!
