About the race
The River Run is scheduled for Saturday October 31, 2026 in Simsbury, Connecticut, with the venue listed as 22 Iron Horse Blvd. The event was rescheduled to this date.
The event program includes:
- 5K USATF certified road race

The course is described as very flat (PR flat) and follows smooth roads that border parks, the Farmington River, bucolic farms, and residential neighborhoods. Timing uses gun time with chips on race bibs; final results will be posted online.
Entry fees vary by registration period for the 5K and 10K, while the kids race is free. All registration fees are non-refundable. Pre-registered 5K and 10K participants are eligible to receive a complimentary event t-shirt, subject to availability. Early packet pickup is available on specified days prior to the race at the Ticket Depot adjacent to the Iron Horse Playground.
Post-race provisions include a post-race beer courtesy of Talcott Mountain Collective for participants aged 21 and over with ID. Awards are given by male and female age divisions, with custom pint glasses for overall winners and top three in each age division. Dogs, strollers, and pushers are permitted but should line up toward the rear of the field. Parents must register and sign a waiver for children in the kids race.
The Simsbury-Granby Rotary Club hosts the event as a fundraiser; listed organizers state that proceeds return to the local community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
