This run is part of an annual winter monthly run series that is held from December through March. Despite the name of the race it is not actually run alongside the river. The only time you see the river is when you go to the clubhouse pre-race during check-in and then again post-race for refreshments.
The course itself is a 5k loop on paved roads. It begins with a long, short climb out of the park where the race starts/finishes, and then winds through a newer suburban housing development. There are a few other small hills along the way as well.
There is an instant results board on-site. There are no awards for the individual races, but there are series awards for those that have completed at least 3 of the 4 races.
Post race refreshments include candy, cookies, bagels, bananas and chicken noodle soup. The soup is awesome!
The location is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking.
This is a good series for those looking to get out each month and to see how you progress.
