Amway River Bank Run

Amway River Bank Run presented by Fifth Third Bank with Corewell Health, the Official Health Partner, is held in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.

This May, we look forward to filling the streets of Grand Rapids with the largest 25K road race in the country and the USA 25 km Open Championships. Join and participate in one or multiple events which include a 25K Run, 25K Handcycle, 25K Wheelchair, 10K Run, 5K Run and 5K Community Walk.

In 1978, just over 1,000 runners took to the streets on the second Saturday of May for the first annual Old Kent River Bank Run. In 2001, Old Kent Bank merged with Fifth Third Bank, and the event was renamed to showcase its new owner. With the transition of race ownership in 2018 to Riverbank Events and Media, a group of leading community partners came together including Amway, Fifth Third Bank and Corewell Health (Spectrum Health) to insure the race will continue for many years to follow on the second Saturday in May in downtown Grand Rapids. In 2019, with Amway as the title sponsor, the race became known as the Amway River Bank Run presented by Fifth Third Bank and Corewell Health (Spectrum Health) as the Official Health Partner.

Consistently ranked as one of the premier road racing events in the United States, the Amway River Bank Run has been the site of the USA 25 km Open Championships since 1995.
