River City Run Presented by Capital Power
River City Run takes place March 27, 2027 in Decatur, Alabama, at Pt Mallard with the start and finish located in the Water Park west parking lot at the Archery Park. The event is presented by Capital Power and lists the Committee on Church Cooperation as its charity sponsor.
The event offers multiple race options:
- 10K
- 5K
- 10K/5K Double

The 5K is an out-and-back on park roads and the 10K is a loop. The first 3.5 miles of the 10K run through quiet residential streets. The finish of the 10K and the entire 5K use the park and golf course perimeter road that runs along the Tennessee River. The Fun Run is a loop on the paved perimeter trail around the Spirit of America field. Both the 5K and 10K are described as flat and fast. The 5K and 10K courses are USATF certified and use chip timing.
Awards and extras include finishers medals for the 5K and 10K, age group awards in five year increments, overall and masters categories, and listed prize money totaling $800 for top 10K finishers.
