64th Annual Great River Road Run

Join us for the 64th Annual Great River Road Run, a scenic and exciting event that takes place between the beautiful bluffs and the mighty Mississippi River in Alton. This long-standing tradition is heading into its 64th race and offers a 10-mile course for the hearty runners and a 5k race for both racers and walkers to enjoy.

The course is flat, fast, and perfect for those looking to burn off those Thanksgiving calories on a Saturday morning. After crossing the finish line, you'll be greeted with nice refreshments and your finish time and place will be available instantly online.

But that's not all! Every 64th runner will receive a special prize, randomly chosen from $64 cash, a Subway gift card, or a free entry for next year's race.

We have a fantastic group of volunteers who are ready to assist and cheer you on, making sure your race experience is enjoyable.

Race day registration and packet pick-up begin at 8:00 am, and the race starts at 10:00 am. The course is an out and back on the Great River Road, starting at Broadway and State St. in Alton, United States.
