🏃‍♀️🇺🇸 The 2026 Great American River Run truly was an event for ALL ages!

Some of our youngest participants crossed the finish line on their own two feet. Some cruised the course in style from the comfort of the most high tech strollers, and a few of our youngest future runners even stopped for a mid-race bottle break before continuing their journey to greatness. 🍼😂

Whether you were chasing a personal record, pushing a stroller, or just enjoying a beautiful morning along the river, you helped make this year's Great American River Run an unforgettable celebration of fitness, family, and fun.

📸 Ready to relive the moment? Race results and a link to purchase finish line photos are available on our website. Find your race photos and see if the camera caught your sprint, your stroller ride, or your snack break at the finish line.
