Wabash Run The River

RACE DESCRIPTION

Back for its sixth year, Wabash Run The River invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to experience one of Wabash County’s most scenic events. This chip-timed race begins in the heart of Wabash County and follows the beautiful Wabash River corridor along the Wabash River Trail. Participants can choose from a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), 10K, or 5K distance, whether they’re chasing a personal best or simply enjoying the journey. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top male and female finishers in the Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K races.
