Join us on October 14th for our annual fundraiser that includes both a 5-Mile Course (timed) and a 2-Mile Course (untimed). All funds raised directly benefit the Jensen Community Center in Amherst, Wisconsin. We welcome runners and walkers of all abilities to join us for a fun run that showcases the heart of Amherst, WI.

Registration entitles participants on race day to a commemorative t-shirt, a can of River Run beer to take with you home, and the option to purchase a bottle of the limited and highly sought-after Central Waters Black Gold. Pre-registration is required.

The River Run 5-Mile Course: This takes off and concludes at Central Waters Brewing Co. It is comprised of a winding course through the heart of our downtown as well as a limestone-chipped segment of the Tomorrow River Trail. You will run along the Tomorrow River before heading back toward the brewery. The course is NOT closed to traffic, so runners and walkers must be alert and aware of vehicles.

The River Run 2-Mile Course: This takes off and concludes at Central Waters Brewing Co. It is comprised of a small tour through our downtown, while crossing over the Tomorrow River. The course is NOT closed to traffic, so runners and walkers must be alert and aware of vehicles.
