Rhythm on the River 5K & 1 Mile

The Rhythm on the River 5K & 1 Mile takes place at Dolly Cooper Park in Greenville, South Carolina. The event features two distance options: a 5K run/walk and a 1 mile walk/fun run.

The festival is part of a larger community event. It includes live music, food trucks, activities for kids, and local craft vendors. Participation in the run is not free, but the festival itself is described as a free day of activities.

The course is a loop on park trails. The 5K consists of three laps of an approximately 1.1-mile loop, while the 1 mile event is one lap. The route goes along the Saluda River shore and through a disc golf course. The terrain is primarily packed dirt and maintained trail, described as primarily flat with one hill.

Participants receive a finisher medal, race bib, and a race sticker. The festival activities begin immediately after the race concludes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
