Run Riverside 5k and Fun Run
The Run Riverside 5k and Fun Run is a community athletic event held in Jacksonville, Florida. Both races begin and end at the intersection of Post and Oak Streets, located in front of the Riverside Presbyterian Day School. This event provides participants with the opportunity to explore several historical sites within the Riverside area.
The following distances are available:
- 5 km
- 1 mile
The 5 km course features a route that passes through Five Points and King Street. Runners will see local landmarks such as the Cheek Castle House, Memorial Park, the Goodwin House, and the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens. For the 1 mile Fun Run, participants traverse a course designed with multiple Fun Zones.
Registered finishers for both the 5 km and 1 mile events receive a medal. For the 5 km race, awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers, the top male and female masters (40+), and the top three finishers in various age categories starting from 6 and under up to 80 and over.
The race utilizes the Race Results Timing System, requiring participants to cross timing mats at the start and finish lines. Walkers and those with strollers are permitted but must line up at the end of the starting group. Dogs are not allowed on the course. A Finish Line Festival takes place after the races, featuring activities and contributions from local businesses. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
