Event Overview

This is the 20th annual Run for Riley event in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The event supports Riley Children's Hospital.

Distances

Participants can choose between two events:

  • A 5 Mile run/walk, which is chip-timed.
  • A 5k (5K) run/walk.

Course Details

Both events share the same start point at Maple Creek Middle School, located at 425 Union Chapel Road. The course begins there and progresses onto the paved trails of the Fort Wayne Greenway system. At a designated split, participants for the 5 mile and 5k distances go on separate routes. Both courses finish on the school's running track.

Post-Race Activities

After the events, there will be a gathering in the school cafeteria. This includes a silent auction, the presentation of awards for the 5 mile race, and snacks and treats. The event typically concludes with an announcement of the total donation amount raised for Riley Children's Hospital. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
