Riverbend 10k

2026 Riverbend 5k & 10k

This event offers a scenic trail run through Riverbend Park with options for 5k and 10k distances. Points from the event count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k, and Back of the Pack series and toward the Fall Series. A virtual race option is available for participants who cannot attend on site.

• 5k - out-and-back trail course with some challenging hills.
• 10k - two laps of the 5k course.

Registered runners receive a finisher’s medal, a technical (DriFit) event shirt, and chip timing. The 10k course includes five water stations at approximate mile markers 0.85, 2.25, 3.1, 3.95 and 5.35; the 5k has two water stations at approximately 0.85 and 2.25 miles. Gatorade will be available at some stations. Restrooms are located near the visitor center.

Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to first and second place in standard age categories from 19 and under through 70 plus. Runners who place top three overall are not eligible for age-group awards. The Back of the Pack listing is a series classification and not a course cutoff time; the published Back of the Pack time is 12:00.

Packet pickup is available at the event. Race day registration is offered; participants registering that day should allow about one hour for check-in. T-shirt sizes are guaranteed for registrations completed before November 23; extra shirts may be available afterward on a first-come basis. Registration fees vary by distance and increase after November 15 and again on race morning.
