Run The River

Get ready to lace up and light up the night at "Run the River" on August 2, the highlight of the Midland Area River Days Festival! Kicking off at the iconic Tridge, the evening promises a scenic run with the added magic of hot air balloons painting the sky. But that's not all – dash to the finish line and celebrate your victory with a refreshing pint, thanks to Preferred Chiropractic of Midland. Your run or walk not only earns you a cool glass and a complimentary drink ticket for the Rotary Tent, but it also brings the joy that only summer in Midland can offer.

Beat the clock and snag the best price by March 31st, before the rates rise. Remember, fees are set in stone, but the memories are priceless. For the challenge-seekers, secure your spot in the Midland Triple Challenge for that extra dose of glory and swag. And come rain or shine, be there for packet pick-up on race day from 5 PM. Ready, set, and go with wave starts for the 1-mile and 5K runs, including a separate wave for female runners, followed by a 5K walk. Run the River is not just a race; it's a Midland summer tradition waiting for you!
